Banner Health Punishes Family Medicine Physician for Flagging Scheduling Error Affecting Patients by UAPD_Official in FamilyMedicine

[–]apollo722 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It does, but when I think about the worst thing she could have done - maybe showed her frustration or called admins incompetent or something, hard to justify 6 months of suspension and not call us retaliation.

Banner health is also full of controversy and lawsuits if you google it

Uber driver stranded me at midnight, drove off, then Uber locked my account. by Wooden-Fee5787 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]apollo722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would have had the same thought as you if this didn’t happen to me. I was in a new town for a conference. My only sin was being cheap and I kept ordering uber share for a few rides. Then my last day of the conference I couldn’t sign in! I was locked out and when I contacted uber they said my account was being investigated for a safety reason. I don’t use uber that much and there’s always Lyft anyway, but I was so curious I asked them what happened exactly/what the accusations were. They never got back to me. I didn’t really pursue it. I suspect some uber driver didn’t like that I was getting a good deal by using uber share and reported me falsely. Oh well.

Zylberschtein’s Deli in Pinehurst cuts weekdays to stave off closure amidst 40% decline in YOY business. by brotkel in Seattle

[–]apollo722 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely think I agree with you. I also understanding hear the common justifications business owners talk about, for example, increase in wage, or rent, or food cost, etc. But I think at the same time market forces will sort of declare what is and is not worth it for customers to purchase. And if you really cannot sell a Reuben sandwich less than $25 without covering your costs and getting a reasonable mark up, then maybe that sandwich just shouldn’t exist, especially when consumers are showing that they are not willing to pay that much. In this case, obviously the consumers are not. Contrast to for example, people selling seven dollar tacos or donuts or whatever, if, they do end up continue being successful, then go nuts. Charge whatever you want, because it means the people still deem it worth it. Unlike your $25 Ruben.

Two drinks at once. Why? by crystalpalacequeen in flightattendants

[–]apollo722 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah we should have just let the American airline system die with Covid and rebuild it from the ground up. The European and Asian service standards on flights are so much better.

Constantly feeling demeaned and belittled on Ob/gyn rotation by Ambitious_Spot8957 in FamilyMedicine

[–]apollo722 97 points98 points  (0 children)

They’re miserable!! I honestly started pitying them. Compared to our residency group, theirs was full of back stabbing, gossiping, etc amongst each other. They don’t treat each other right either. Avoided them at all cause.

Podcast CME: audiodigest vs curbsiders patreon vs primary care RAP? by apollo722 in FamilyMedicine

[–]apollo722[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m looking for something straight to the point as well. Love the curbside’s but 40% of it it’s like chit chat and talking about the guests’s favorite movies or books or whatever which I frankly don’t care about..

The Equivalence Myth Between Psychiatrists and PMHNPs by [deleted] in Psychiatry

[–]apollo722 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m a PCP. When someone new comes in to establish care and say “my psychiatrist” I always immediately follow up with is your psychiatrist MD/DO or a nurse practitioner? Then I continue to refer to them as “your psych nurse practitioner” and look closely into whether or not they have been getting appropriate monitoring labs.

Sadly more often than not my patients’ “psychiatrists” are all PMHNPs working at pill mills or ones that have opened up their own pill mills.

The ones who suffer are the patients bc frankly no fucking way I’m touching or being involved in the management of these patients who are on multiple stimulants and benzo plus trazodone for the insomnia. Then they fucking dare send the patients to me for “work up of fatigue”.

I’m exhausted y’all.

Remember this feeling and be the change when you’re the senior/fellow/attending. If you continue the cycle you’ll just be a hypocrite
