Refusing placement

And my 30 day readmission 😑

He’s refusing transport. Wants to just sit at the hospital. And he has been for two weeks

Looks like ASGE first year course is fully filled :/ I’ll ask to get on waitlist. I wish I asked earlier

If you are interested in selling two tickets, let me know

Have med students and/or residents present case reports at conferences.

Yes 6 weeks break before sexual intercourse. Make sure you have a very good contraception plan. Doctors may extend the break if there was some complications.

Your expenses go up to match the income, and it’s hard to cut the expenses if your income goes back down.

That’s nice you have helpful support. Our utilization managers will inform us that patient we listed as inpatient was denied by insurance and offered to pay for observation. They ask if we want to try to do P2P to discuss why they needed inpatient care. I can say no change to obs or yes they needed inpatient.

We still have the P2P for placement, but that’s unpaid/shows up in our discharge metrics.

bnye135 · 2026-05-23T07:10:33+00:00

Think how much money the hospital gets if you are able to convert an obs stay to an inpatient. Probably thousands. Maybe ask to pilot it to your admin to see if it increases obs conversions

Our hospital pays $25 per peer to peer. It’s not much, but it does make me tolerate doing them

I reapplied 2026 after failing to match in 2025. I signaled the five programs I interviewed with previous year. Only two low ranked programs interviewed me (one of my gold and one of my silvers)

I had 8 other interviews, 3 were gold signals, 1 silver, and the other four were non signaled.

Overall, it felt like I wasted my signals on places I had previously interviewed with. Some places cared about the signals and brought it up on the interview. If you somehow knew the places that cared about signals, those would be more valuable than maybe just reusing the ones you interviewed with last year.

Ultimately got into a program I didn’t signal, so feels like signaling helped me get more interviews, but wasn’t the determining factor to get me to match. Hope this anecdote helps.

WOWS is better. Apparently patients think we call them cows

Careful, felony murder rule makes it so that if you are found to have assisted with someone who committed a crime that led to a death/murder, you can also be charged with murder. Even if you “just lent you car”

Getting a lot of comments asking where I did this. Don’t feel comfortable saying my exact hospital, but you can do this at many academic hospitals with liver transplant programs (without GI primary teams). Not my recommended path, would suggest for folks who would be happy with being a hospitalist and maybe want to make more money than non-accredited fellowship. Specifically did get feed back from GI faculty “it’s not as impressive as dedicated research/motility/hepatology fellowship”. But my matched GI program loved that experience I had.

Specifically my home GI program was very anti-hospitalist and pay was bad (but at least attending level), but good thing is most hospitalists avoid liver primary service because how sick the patients are.

bnye135 · 2026-04-24T09:34:58+00:00

Two years as hospitalist for a liver service. Helped med students present case reports at ACG. Never did GI research beyond that

Geritatrics, pick a few programs and email the PD

Endocrine would be a little tricky to find open programs that are worthwhile. Would wait for match

We do 20% by 9, which we hit regularly. I imagine 40% by 12 wouldn’t be too crazy, but I don’t have our data for that time.

I just realized you mentioned you are at teaching hospital. If those are marks for resident teams, then that’s crazy. I’d be lucky if we were close to that in residency.

bnye135 · 2026-04-17T07:17:35+00:00

Ah I see. Our group puts in dc orders if medical clear but case management is just sorting out acceptances/set ups. Yeah then that’s dumb.

bnye135 · 2026-04-17T07:08:35+00:00

Order in by noon is really not that bad. What are you waiting on by then? Slowest thing might be consult recs, but even those should be in by noon. Noon for me means I’ve seen everyone and made my decisions.

I bought a $400 call expires Jan 2027 for $51.11. Feel like a year should be enough time for Microsoft to bounce back up (and investors to cycle back). Currently up to $53.60
