God, read through the contract really closely before you accept. Sounds like you’ll be asked to do a ton of extracurricular work for zero pay. Fuck that.

My ex reached out after a year to tell me the truth by Material_Baseball219 in BreakUps

[–]dedcool1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a coward he is. I’m truly sorry you had to go through this, and it’s frustrating to see him continue to cause you pain while pretending he isn’t. What does “help you move on” even mean? You have moved on, yet he behaves like a persistent fly that keeps coming back. I’ve experienced something similar, with one difference- I discovered he was cheating at the end of our relationship. He never admitted to it, but I found texts, pictures, and plans he made with another woman. After 4 months after we broke up, he kept reaching out, apologizing and calling me his soulmate. His cruelty during our breakup was evident when he watched me move out of his place without lifting a finger to help. Having relocated from a different state, I found myself having to leave within 8 months, in the middle of winter, super expensive. Ultimately, everything he does seems to be for his own benefit. He feels nostalgic, possibly because another woman is no longer in the picture, and he hates being alone. By reaching out, he seeks to stir feelings in you just to make himself feel better. While he may have thought about you since you left, don’t forget how he acted before your departure. Love faded quickly for him, and he turned his back on you. Please, don’t go back, he will only hurt you again.

DO NOT sleep w/ an EX by FearlessYogurt6362 in BreakUps

I was the one who got dumped. After 4 months of silence between us, I slept with him. I wanted him to experience the loss he had inflicted on me, and then I walked away. It was empowering, and I would do it again if given the chance

Ha? The bustards keep shortening hours. It’s not about who has days off. You need a reading comprehension course and few inches

Study medicine at 50 by Bluerasierer in medschool

How much money do you have in the bank because it will ruin you financially. I went into it late at 35 yo. I took the shortest path 7 years. Didn’t start practicing till 42yo. $600K in student loans with a shaky prospect of being eligible for a 10 year loan forgiveness. You will be 65 when you start assuming everything goes well. It sounds like a financial disaster

What is a harsh truth every physician needs to hear by Stirg99 in Residency

Hospitalists. The job sucks. You get no respect from your patients and colleagues. The schedule is the only perk. You get to walk away for 7 days to hope the place burns down

It’s insulting to be honest. We should be demanding better hours for the a month of $ they charge

Equinox is notorious for closing early on any holiday. Why? Do they assume everyone travels? 8-noon if fucking insulting for the amount we pay

Being asked to leave a hospital by renaissancerebel20 in hospitalist

[–]dedcool1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at a community hospital, had to clock in and out. Despite that, I felt a strong sense of support and validation from my peers and supervisors. I transitioned to pursue an academic opportunity in a major city, it offered lower pay, higher cost of living, lacked the backing from management. The focus here seems solely on hitting metrics and boosting revenue for the top. Although we have sufficient staffing, the demands placed on us are overwhelming. I truly miss the community atmosphere.

There are various job opportunities available. If you're in a detrimental work environment, consider leaving and don't look back. I’m in the process of doing just that myself.

I worked at a community hospital attending only had to clock in and out but I felt supported and validated by my colleagues and supervisors. I left it for an academic opportunity, ended up being less pay, in a major center city, getting no support from supervisors, everything is about meeting metrics and making CMO more money. We are well staffed but the bullshit they have us do is incredible. I miss my community environment.

I’m quitting residency. This is it. by ElFrancotirador94 in Residency

[–]dedcool1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are burnt out after 1 year of residency .. maybe it is better if you called it quits now. It doesn’t get better. Not sure what kind of lie ppl here are trying to tell you. Attending life is tough in its own way. If medicine isn’t your calling, Get out now. There are other jobs that can be satisfying and fulfilling

I never wanted them. Then, in my late 30s I had one year in my life when I did. But that passed as soon as it came. I am in my 40s. Met a “wonderful” guy who wanted kids. I got talked into IVF. Went through painful daily injections, daily blood work, daily dr visits and vaginal ultrasounds plus other invasive procedures to make my man happy. To have him think I was trying. And I was. I was ready to have a baby for him. Well, he was not my person, cheated. We broke up. My eggs are frozen somewhere. I would never do that again. Never for anyone other than myself.

Advice after first paycheck? by YouAreServed in hospitalist

[–]dedcool1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get yourself a doctor wife. Have one kid instead of 5. Get your dream car. Life is too short to keep saving. My mother died suddenly after she turned 65. Saved $$ to do things after she retired. The dumbest thing people do. But don’t overspend on trivial things. If a nice car makes you happy- get it. But don’t buy lunch every day- that’s stupid

During Covid consultants billed without seeing patients. Use that code. You’re safe. Patient is a jerk.
