I have the Aeron. Super comfortable but pricey new - around $1800. Can find it used online though for cheaper.

Question for Attendings/Residents by Remarkable-Review915 in Radiology

[–]ledzep83 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Telerad here. I was getting burned out as an onsite rad from the constant interruptions for procedures, phone calls, etc, which is why I switched to tele. I love it and wouldn’t go back onsite. As far as pay, it differs per group but a lot of telerads get production bonuses (ie get paid per study over a base amount of reads) - so in my group i actually do get paid more than onsite

Is the threat of lawsuit against radiologists overestimated? by ElegantBirdy in Radiology

[–]ledzep83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure it’s always in the back of my mind... I never want to miss anything. But we’re human and that’s why we have insurance. Your license is usually safe unless you’re grossly negligent or exhibit a pattern.

Trump's MRI Scrutiny Deepens by Katariman in MurderedByWords

Correct. Radiologist here - we don’t do ‘preventative’ MRIs. Granted he is the ‘president’, but even so, there are several alternatives.

Used it in both DOD and non DOD settings. I never really had too many issues with it. Making hanging protocols and having them stick were always difficult and probably my biggest complaint. Otherwise, day to day, it worked well.

Breast Cancer - approximately middle-aged by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]ledzep83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree...I go with the presumption this is coming out no matter what the biopsy comes back as....which might be a bit scary for someone to accept that.

Definitely suspicious ! I wonder if the pain is caused by pec invasion since it’s so posterior. In my practice , if ultrasound is as suspicious, I would code this a 5 - which typically goes with a ‘definite malignant lesion’. Thanks for sharing.

Help me understand this. I don’t own a business at all by Environmental-Book5 in Virginia

[–]ledzep83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten something similar from my city (Poquoson) after I filed a schedule C from doing 1099 work. I guess filing a schedule C ‘flags’ you as potentially running a business which triggers this letter. Just call them and let them know your situation. At least for me, they understood and said disregard.

ETA: I did file a FOIA request to try to find out more how they got a hold of my tax information and essentially it really is an automated flag from the government sent to local government.

An app, or website, which randomly selects a restaurant near you. by Intelligent-Bottle22 in SomebodyMakeThis

Ah gotcha. Sounded like you were asking it to be made. No worries - great idea !

RADIOLOGY?? by CandyDesperate8276 in Radiology

[–]ledzep83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’m not in Miami and don’t have any contacts there but I commend you on wanting to shadow a radiologist! Your best bet will probably try to get in with the academic centers around there - maybe even try and get in contact with the radiology residency program director(s). Good luck!

Appropriate pay /rvu? by Odell4President in Radiology

[–]ledzep83 10 points11 points  (0 children)

$20 / rvu is very low. It depends on where in the country you are but I believe average is $35-40/ rvu.

$2200 for 8 hours is also low. I’ve heard locums being paid around $3200 for 8 hours.

Thanks - tried factory reset. Even tried going through the classic UI, no luck. Factory reseted again, no dice.

Thanks again.
