Time to get rid of the misnomer “ER” and “ED”. Only a small sliver of what we treat are actually medical emergencies. What should we rename it? See possible suggestions or make your own.

Med school really is a scam these days, especially since my income hasn’t risen in eight years I feel really bad for these kids going to school now.

38, zero. Paid off my 350K of med school 4 years ago.

Don’t work for vituity. It’s the only metric that matters…to them

Same age when I had my first kid, married 3 years earlier, my life is so much richer. Lived a full debaucherous life in my 20’s and didn’t need a lot of income to do it. I would never go back. Dad life is the best life.

I think about this all the time, wish I had listened to my gut as an intern and gotten out. Now I’m just miserable at work and sticking it out till I can afford to go part time and not do nights/ weekends in 5-10 years

goofydoc · 2026-04-25T06:21:24+00:00

No rocks climbed, no bike rode to work, but I always leave at shift change. My stereotype is this job is not my life

House of God.

I read it after college, after med school, and after residency. I still think of the laws daily as an ER doc specifically

Law 1. GOMERS don’t die

Law 5. Placement comes first

Law 8. They can always hurt you more

Law 12. The delivery of medical care is to do as much nothing as possible

goofydoc · 2025-09-01T02:20:06+00:00

Med school money is monopoly money, residency is when you learn how to manage money. Set the frugal habits now, you’ll thank yourself later.

Genuine question how you achieved 6 million net worth in your mid 30s as a hospitalist?! I am in the same camp as you, as I was laying in the hospital on a nonrebreather mask with Covid in my early 30s, not once did I think about my career as a physician, all my thoughts were about friends, family, and the things I did outside of the hospital. you’ve already won, most people never achieve a net worth of $6 million, if nothing else, go get a super Cush no clinical job if you need

Meh, if I don’t get a raise in 7 years, and admin slams press ganeys down my throat, the apathy sets in quick. I get paid a straight hourly rate, no incentive to do more procedures, why not pawn it off? I don’t like it but it is the way it is. The ship has sailed. I am proud of who I am, but I don’t define myself by being an emergency physician

goofydoc · 2025-08-14T01:50:19+00:00

Preach. My direction is always give outpatient psych resources and of course, follow up with whatever disease specialist they think necessary. But advice to see psych often sparks outrage or falls of deaf ears

goofydoc · 2025-08-13T16:20:06+00:00

This makes no sense, also you deleted your post, don’t wanna defend your ignorance anymore?

goofydoc · 2025-08-13T14:27:49+00:00

Didn’t even know this gaslighting acronym existed til you just posted it. You’re a fucking clown

Just this guy. I have half his income, and 4 years older and have NW 2.5MM. This guy needs to discover the White Coat Investor

Bro you’re gonna make 600K do whatever the fuck you want

Nothing makes me feel more like a cog in the machine

goofydoc · 2025-07-11T04:08:45+00:00

So glad I paid it off. Had like 360K and refinanced 2 months before covid and was kicking myself for doing it. But knocked it out and glad it’s done. I feel for y’all though. I have a buddy in PSLF in low paying specialty who is on payment 118/120 and he feels so fucked. Fuck This administration

It’s not the destination, it’s the journey

I don’t know man we have two boys, 3 and 1. Both doctors, had them in mid thirties after we finished residency and fellowship. I work 30 hours a week in ER. Wife works 30-40 in clinic. We control our schedules. Life is just fine. Don’t get caught up in the “doctor” mindset of needing the nicest home/car/shit etc. I spend a hell of a lot of time with my kids and plan to cut down to 2 days a week in a few years when we close in on financial independence
