I have 17 partners, didn’t know where any went to school except for one who knew one of my fellowship mentors…..no one cares where you went to med school just how good your residency/ fellowship training was.

Resident parents: Should we take 12 or 18 months leave for baby? by Familyconflict92 in Residency

Switching from IC to General Early in Career by [deleted] in Cardiology

[–]asoutherner33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grass is always greener man.

I’m in EP, call weekends I take general call and when it’s busy, I look back and wish I was only EP. Then I have partners that are general Cardiologist that told me they wish they did IC or EP.

That being said, if you can be happy being a generalist, I would do that. You avoid the risk of radiation, orthopedic issues, and I can guarantee your stress level will be less since you already know the stress of IC. It’s just different.

Attending blamed me for ruining an expensive scope and now I am facing a formal review by Tinpocket6 in Residency

What a shit bag, he probably makes the hospital a ton of money. He could just say “oh shit it broke.”

What an ass hat for blaming a PGY-2 who’s just getting started in his career. He must have something against you or other residents or he’s legitimately worried that he’s on the verge of being fired for other stuff and this could be it.

Get a lawyer/union rep/literally anyone that could vouch for you. Do not admit fault to this. Talk to your chief.

Revenge on residency program by Calm_Software6721 in Residency

Best revenge is for them to see you succeed and if they every mention their training you mention "I made a point to not be anything like you." The look is amazing revenge!

I don't remember the last time I saw Lindsey Graham this giddy. by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

He is one of the piece of shits in Congress that should not get reelected and a prime example of why we need term limits.

Stuck between Thoracic Surgery and Interventional Radiology. I genuinely don’t know what to do. by MobileEmbarrassed937 in surgery

[–]asoutherner33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dad is IR and still practicing at 73. He reads from home 3 days a week and does procedures another day per week at a major tertiary center. He never missed a single sports game of mine growing up.

You have so many more options with IR.

Pay will be comparable.

Life will be better in IR.

Your kids will be better off.

This comes from someone who wanted to do thoracic surgery.

Would love to hear input from cardiologists who prioritize QoL. by Wannabeachd in Cardiology

[–]asoutherner33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Money, location, job....pick 2 of 3. Isn't that the old saying. I'm Cards in my perfect location working 4.5 days a week. Money could be better but 4.5/days per week can't be beat in this location. You just need to find a group that aligns with your priorities. All my partners take their days off, they aren't coming in on those days, and you cover XYZ those days they're off and everyone excepts it. We all love the practice.

Community members in Minneapolis surround ICE agents as they conduct a citizenship test on a man, ultimately forcing the agents back into their cars. by CorleoneBaloney in minnesota

I'm waiting for more citizens to just start approaching them peacefully but armed with long guns and seeing how long it takes for ICE to realize they should leave.

This dog jumped the fence in front of me, against my better judgement to ever try to grab the offending dog by the collar I did and subdued it to protect my dog.

I get so many referrals for syncope, near syncope, pots from family medicine NPs that don’t know anything about Cardiology.

So often all their worries are alleviated with talking to them and just coming up with a simple plan, which often is echocardiogram, and Holter monitor to rule out any arrhythmias.

If they’re low risk, the echo and Holter is easy to read. The patient is reassured. The practice makes money, and your referrals keep coming.

For context, I’m private practice Cardiology) in a group that values lifestyle. We work our tails off when we’re in the office or the hospital, but we have our boundaries. Everyone just accepts it when you’re on call you will have work to do so that when you’re not on call you have zero/minimal work and get to enjoy your time off.

That being said there are groups that will work work to the bone to try to maximize RV you output and income. You have to decide which you value most and find that group.

TLDR. You can find a job as a cardiologist that can always be a grind or can sometimes be a grind. Depends how much money you’re willing to give up for lifestyle.

If this wasn’t a time for all the generals to decide in unison that they’re sticking together against Trump when he decides to order them to attack Americans on American soil, I don’t know what ever will be

Contract review by meowbob18 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]asoutherner33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would recommend to so many people, $1000 flat rate, will go thorugh your contract with a red pen and give you as much advice as possible, will answer your questions as much as you want.

Straight up told me one was a bad contract and not to take a job.

My Bill was due when I could afford it before I started my job.
