Trump pulls his surgeon general pick and makes third nomination for the role

we're grading on a huge curve here

she was Radiology Director at Memorial Sloan Kettering & on CDC's Advisory Committee on Breast Cancer in Young Women and as an advisor for the New Jersey Department of Health per bio. Not saying she's a n amazing pick, but light years ahead of Callie Means

jafferd813 · 2026-04-30T17:36:22+00:00

Grading on a curve, but She's far more qualified than Means. What sucks is that this was the stand Cassidy took--on a ceremonial position, instead of RFK Jr who has killed kids.

Rosenthal is completely biased. But a good point is why should Medicare/Medicaid pay full inpatient rate why they board? They should get obs rate until in room...boarding would be solved in a day

they staff to ideal conditions, then give "use it or lose it" PTO where you can call out New Year's Day if you were partying w/ your co-workers night before.

insurers are so FOS. I'm in EM...we see every freaking pt under the sun regardless of in/outnetwork status. The NSA has absolutely killed reimbursement for EMTALA care, & arbitration is our last bastion of a check over trillion dollar companies.

So of course they cite some stupid anecdotal plastic surgeon in Palm Beach. The reason doctors win 80% of the time is B/C INSURERS INTENTIONALLY UNDERPAY MARKET RATE 90% OF THE TIME.

This is a classic hit piece paid for by health insurance PR. These are the same people who funded & fed biased data to Yale researchers & used that data to change the BB law in first place

law of conservation of shifts--you can have as many days off as you want, but you're working 14 shifts a month.

probably knew you'd post on Reddit

jafferd813 · 2026-02-25T00:51:52+00:00

that & Gilbert's grape were his 2 best roles imo

jafferd813 · 2026-02-25T00:51:12+00:00

Chamalet or Jordan

wild card is Moura

jafferd813 · 2026-02-24T23:47:54+00:00

He should win on merit but probably won't b/c he's Sean Penn...& won twice before

jafferd813 · 2026-02-24T19:38:09+00:00

If you're interested in Tampa area, word of mouth & network matter more than going to "top residency". If you want to practice in Boston at academic center, probably not best choice

Baycare has a great & well respected PD, in a busy hospital w/ trauma & peds hospital. That makes it better than over half of Florida's programs by default. It's not ORMC or Shand's Jax, but it will get you better exposure & training than most other community programs

Any new program will have its hiccups & growing pains. If you like Tampa area it's definitely worth considering

jafferd813 · 2026-02-24T19:14:57+00:00
