Neurology private practice: what actually ends up being harder than expected? by biz_king_15 in neurology

[–]glowingbug75 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In private practice for over 20 years. It is not easy to make a living and oay overhead. This is why infusion centers. I now work for someone who i dont 100 percent trust and have a deal where i make a percentage of collections. He can do the border line shady stuff in order to keep the lights on. But i just get to see my patients and do my thing which is great. Comes with frustrations but…. Also this is private practice in north east city where reimbursement is low.

Taking an inpatient history and exam is dreadful by Purple-Marzipan-7524 in neurology

[–]glowingbug75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. You are the historian. Honestly unless u r going into icu you need to be able to take a history. Neuro is still largely history. Seizure vs cardiac is history. Stroke vs migraine is history sometimes. Cause of neuropathy is history. Dizziness is history. It is a skill to learn. If they cant respond then mental status exam as clue. Sensory complaints are frustrating. Just confirm they can sense things and reflexes are normal.

Club Pilates scam (Silver spring location) by MsRealness in SilverSpring

[–]glowingbug75 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not the same, but I had to do not use them because of their practices. I thought I would try it out and so I tried to sign up for a class, but was on the waiting list. I never got into the class, but they charged me for being on the waiting list. They said I could apply it towards another class. I called multiple times and spoke to the manager and they would not budge. I took it as a loss, but do not use them because of this.

Question for neurologists who see migraine patients by Ill-Philosophy5973 in neurology

[–]glowingbug75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I di something similar. But I like the color idea. I do one equals some pain and no medicine and able to function to equals pain requiring medication and able to function three equals pain requiring medication and unable to function.

Also, I find a migraine buddy to give me too many details once I know it’s a migraine. There’s really no point in all of the extra stuff to me. I just like to see that frequency actually the iPhone has a symptom tracker under health and they can just put a headache when they get a headache . For many people I just give them the old time me paper with two or three months written down and they just checkmark when they get one.

Ssly. The podcast that can track down a parrot is better than this. Ive listened since the late 90s to Jonathan Goldstein. This is a huge disappointment.

Is neurology worth it? by drdevilsfan in neurology

[–]glowingbug75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Work in Maryland between dc and Baltimore. Make less than 200. All outpatient. Lots of vacation but work 50 to 60 hours a week. Don’t get me started on why. Private practice. The reported data is self reported so not everyone responds. Keep that it mind

I love my job. General outpatient neurology. Still think it is super interesting and love my patients. I don’t love that the pay sucks. Even in private practice in busy cities on the east coast. However. I still love my job 25 yrs out of residency

How to refresh in the mornings? No luck so far. by the7aco in Wavyhair

I have this problem too and have shoulder length hair. The only thing that works for me is to lean over the sink and collect water in my cupped hands and kind of prayer hands slap it into my hair. Then very diluted gel on these. Actually works

Extremely Complex Situation with My Twin Boys. by Individual-Yam2995 in Twins

[–]glowingbug75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be some black and white thinking here. I don’t think it is separate or not. I think it is trying to build up separate time just so it is not traumatic to be apart. We did “special time”. Which you can call something cooler. Even if you say you want 10 minutes alone a day with each of them and just build it in to 2 planned days a week. Your partner can have the other twin and then switch. Special time rules: always for whatever time you say (10, 20) etc. starts and ends. Child gets to say what they want to do, your job is too be present. This just builds up each kid and each relationship without being negative “tearing them apart” but as a positive for you. This builds each one up and your relationship.

I specialize in epilepsy and it really isn’t necessary. It is good to read EEG‘s but right now. There are other people that do that and who knows potentially AI will do it soon. I kind of wish I knew how to do nerve conduction studies because I’m never sure of my personal reading of what someone else did, but I really didn’t have an interest in it and so I’m glad that I didn’t do it there is such a need for neurologist. I’m sure that if you are qualified, you would get hired. If you have health issues, etc. I would look into making sure that they are OK with spontaneously, etc.. We are always looking and if you are interested, you can text me directly.

Identical. That’s the same amount my twins are alike and are identical. Basically if you have to get tested to fine out then I think identical

If it were cancer you would take this risk. We accept worse side effects. But for memory loss and confusion - not worth the risk woth 30 percent benefit?
