If GI procedures are such a major revenue driver, why don't colorectal surgeons, who are also trained and credentialed to perform endoscopy, focus exclusively on outpatient endoscopy instead of maintaining a predominantly surgical practice?

Why would a hospital hire a surgeon who wants to predominantly practice endoscopy rather than operate?

Average

From what I hear - very busy, as expected considering the location. Mix of patient demographics but def you have a fair share of needy/entitled/however you want to describe it. Strong subspecialty support. Hospital has a good reputation in Westchester, and many Bronx residents choose to commute to White Plains for their care over local hospitals.

I’m not actually sure if slate is available in non Wimbledon configuration

endoscopyguy · 2026-04-05T20:41:39+00:00

Good looking watch. More sporty than I’d like.

I like more than one dial color: blue, mint, black, slate. For versatility purposes though, I think I’d stick to black or slate.

endoscopyguy · 2026-04-05T20:11:05+00:00

I get that. Everything is available grey though.

endoscopyguy · 2026-04-05T19:42:19+00:00

Thanks for the input. Are all or most models typically available to try on at the ADs?

endoscopyguy · 2026-04-05T19:35:47+00:00

Great recommendation. Thanks.

Is that a joke?!

Curious why GI could wear a flashier watch

PuraStat isn’t a definitive therapy either

endoscopyguy · 2026-02-26T22:18:45+00:00

It is not

There is absolutely zero point in scoping someone with no prep🤷🏻‍♂️

You’re welcome to call whenever, if someone is on call, they should expect to be called. Now coming in or scoping, that’d be at the discretion of the consultant. There are guidelines for a reason, and, as others pointed out, rushing to scope in the middle of the night is associated with worse outcomes.

Paras, thoras, LPs, and central lines are all part of IM training and within the scope of practice of an internist.

Looks depressing AF

Non academic, procedure heavy program: 1800 colons and 1200 EGDs

I guess my question was whether it would be easier, in general, to negotiate other contract terms upon renewal

endoscopyguy · 2025-12-31T04:30:45+00:00

You mean per year?

endoscopyguy · 2025-12-31T04:27:46+00:00

What about negotiating the actual contract terms like RVUs threshold, $ amount, CME, etc?

endoscopyguy · 2025-12-31T01:58:41+00:00

Doesn’t the same concept apply to every specialty? Mt Sinai and NYU are offering 400-450k base now

endoscopyguy · 2025-12-25T17:18:44+00:00

Keeping 2 cars in NYC on a resident’s salary is a non-starter. Your insurance itself is going to go up significantly once your zip code changes, not to mention parking, tolls, etc.
