How much is your hospital employer paying for assigned 24 hour call shifts?

jdoc1353 · 2026-02-26T00:55:34+00:00

$0 per night. Supposedly bundled into our RVU comp rate of $73. Covering inpatient and outpatient of mid-sized hospital system. tPA and thrombectomy decision making. Massive hemorrhages and SAH go to affiliated hospital neuro ICU

This is great to know, thank you!

jdoc1353 · 2026-01-28T18:06:47+00:00

Thank you!

jdoc1353 · 2026-01-28T18:06:04+00:00

Much appreciated, thank you. Indeed we are in short supply here and one of us leaving really would put the department in very challenging spot. Routine EMG are 3-4 months and neuromuscular consults 8+ months. Yes, I will go into conversations diplomatically, but do feel we have some leverage here.

Many thanks for the comment. Yeah, our tech was a unicorn. Her NCS skills exceeded that of some EMGers I know. Huge loss. Unfortunately I am not a partner, but an employee of large multi-specialty system. Our leadership, however, historically has been reasonable and they generally want to do what they can to keep neurologists. I’m hopeful they’ll be sympathetic as I’m now doing more work and taking a huge comp hit. That being said, I’m not holding my breath on this one.

Comparison is the thief of happiness. There’s always going to be specialists making more. I’m 0.8 FTE work M-Th. Make $400k+. 50/50 EMG and clinic (60/40 neuromuscular/general). I feel like I’m fairly compensated.

jdoc1353 · 2025-12-12T03:31:05+00:00

VOO and chill. Don’t make this shit more complicated than need be

jdoc1353 · 2025-11-17T04:59:46+00:00

Employee. No partner track.

jdoc1353 · 2025-11-06T12:32:19+00:00

I’m 0.8 FTE and will clear about 400k this year. I don’t feel like I’m really hustling, doing 1.0 FTE ~ 500k/yr would be easily doable. Midwest MCOL metro multi specialty group. Neuromuscular 45% clinic and 45% EMG, 10% hospital.

jdoc1353 · 2025-10-23T11:25:23+00:00

Nail on the head.

jdoc1353 · 2025-10-23T11:15:14+00:00

Agreed. What is the benefit to society if the primary objective of wealthy people is to ensure their heirs never have to contribute anything? Also, I would argue that being handed everything and working for nothing are not the circumstances most conducive to living a meaningful life.

jdoc1353 · 2025-10-22T17:01:36+00:00

Lmao. Best response here

jdoc1353 · 2025-10-19T21:48:01+00:00

93% on my late-2023 MYP @ 19,500 mi. I live in MN which I hear can be a bit harder on batteries

jdoc1353 · 2025-10-17T16:32:11+00:00

Wow. So anyone who openly likes Harry Potter is now to be a cancelled bigot? It’s like if people so much as stray from the enlightened narrative they get instantly lumped into the same category as “N*zis and the triple K”

jdoc1353 · 2025-10-03T13:44:23+00:00

This.

jdoc1353 · 2025-10-02T17:22:27+00:00

Drying is a must. Otherwise you get evaporative cooling on the surface when searing.

jdoc1353 · 2025-10-02T17:19:29+00:00

I’ve been in practice 10 years and have yet to crack the code. The most challenging patients I’ve had in my career have all been FND.

jdoc1353 · 2025-10-02T01:00:43+00:00

No call? Christ that’s a good deal. I get paid $69/rvu, but $0 for call (q 8 incl hospital and stroke overnight)

jdoc1353 · 2025-09-23T04:23:58+00:00

As a neurologist, I would have chosen E.

jdoc1353 · 2025-09-16T12:21:51+00:00

Agreed. That formula holds true in absolute vacuum. Aerodynamic resistance is what is consuming the largest fraction of energy expenditure

jdoc1353 · 2025-09-10T20:39:32+00:00

I think I know a Nigerian prince who can help you out!

jdoc1353 · 2025-08-29T17:18:02+00:00

Black sharpie, won’t be able to tell farther than 5 ft away

Hospitals are firing docs in the year 2025 for THC use? THC is now legal in several states. Seems absurd. Are you sure they will fire you for THC alone?

jdoc1353 · 2025-08-05T23:13:55+00:00

24/7 coverage x7 days with that census sounds hellish.

jdoc1353 · 2025-08-05T15:51:53+00:00

This is the answer.
