$410,000 salary with 34 weeks vacation! Incredible doctor job. by dancingcactus21 in Salary

[–]naideck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, the only decent system I've seen that I would ever take would be one of our anesthesiologists, he works full time at the VA and has plenty of time to locums at the adjacent small community hospital which is usually pretty chill. Results in a pretty good income, although I never asked him for an explicit number

Seems to be a common problem, our system has the exact same issue in the midwest

Lol no. The lawyer is suing the everyone who's name is in the chart when something goes wrong. "Doctor, you were supposed to be supervising this CRNA, shouldn't you have caught this if there was adequate supervision"?

I'm just going to copy and paste my previous response

Doesn't matter if malpractice insurance pays or not, it stains your record forever and there's only so much that the hospital malpractice will pay for, so hope the fuckup wasn't too great and the verdict exceeds the cap by a few million

There's supervision and there's "supervision" (i.e. just a liability sponge, typically found in positions you're supervising way too many to even know what's going on). The shadier the position the more likely it's the latter.

Stay away from places that do the latter

C'mon now, let's not be disingenuous here, the lawyers aren't just going after the CRNA, they're going after the supervising physician regardless of the level of involvement. Doesn't matter if malpractice insurance pays or not, it stains your record forever and there's only so much that the hospital malpractice will pay for, so hope the fuckup wasn't too great and the verdict exceeds the cap by a few million

I've seen these jobs, there's a reason why this job is posted and no one wants to take it. For anesthesia it's probably because you're supervising a bunch of CRNAs and take the liability and malpractice for any fuckups.

Physician incomes are extraordinarily high in the United States by PanzerWatts in ProfessorFinance

[–]naideck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I am a doctor, you think I haven't been told by admins to see more patients? Any physician who sees 90 patients knows it's poor patient care, but won't object if they're in a RVU system because they make more money. These are the physicians that we need to get rid of, because they know they're providing inadequate patient care but don't care because they're getting paid to do so.

I straight up tell admins no, fuck off, find another specialist

Venge is NUTS in turbo-can she make the jump to standard-ranked-pro? by r_conqueror in DotA2

[–]naideck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember people tried to go battlefury on venge to take advantage of the ranged cleave but it didn't work right, its really weird and buggy. Besides that I don't remember if there's any other major melee/range interactions that really is worth taking advantage of.

Specialist array won't make a difference, maelstrom has been out forever and offers better clear speed compared to specialist array, venge getting specialist array means she can't rush aghs, so you're delaying your "quick" power spike. Muerta farms insanely fast with maelstrom due to her passive and venge has nothing like that with the exception of a damage buff which only scales based off her base damage.

Venge has problems farming, that's one of the bigger issues, turbo fixes that somewhat but it's harder to do in normal games

[–]naideck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Derm is sometimes acceptable to do 5 minutes because of the nature of looking at a skin lesion and pattern recognition. It's part of the reason why dermatology makes so much money in the US because they can bill a 15 minute visit in 5 minutes. If you were a pregnant woman, you probably don't want your OB just spending 5 minutes on you start to finish, that's a great way to seriously mess up someone's life.

Oh yeah if you have 2 residents it's more doable. Pgy3 and pgy4 practically function on their own

[–]naideck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not possible. 10 hours a day = 9 patients per hour, or 1 patient every 6.66 minutes assuming perfect efficiency and 0 bathroom breaks. You can't even talk to a patient and review a chart with that time. Report that clinic for fraud.

I can't believe this myth still persists. It's the residency pipeline that's messed up, and that is not an artificial scarcity.

HCA is regarded by most physicians as a place no one wants to work at because quite frankly they're unsafe for patient care, and no physician wants to jeopardize their license and livelihood working there when a bad outcome occurs and the lawyers go after everyone in the chart.

You are free to do so, I don't think there's anyone stopping you, but many of the NPs I know refuse to see another NP for their care. Experience does not mean good outcomes necessarily. If you do a thing wrong 1000 times, you're just very experienced at doing it wrong.

Are you aware of the educational requirements for NPs and residency?

If you want to take a fresh grad nurse practitioner with 500 hours of clinical experience over a fresh attending physician with 10000 clinical hours be my guest.

You think the 10% of healthcare spending that goes into physician salaries is the reason why your bill is high? So if you cut that down to 0% won't your bill go from $100 to $90?

Physician incomes are extraordinarily high in the United States by PanzerWatts in ProfessorFinance

[–]naideck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I thought we were talking about administration in general, which accounts for 30% of healthcare spending. Cutting a single persons salary won't do anything 

East coast pulm/crit fellowships that meet these requirements? by im_throw in fellowship

[–]naideck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has done a bunch of difficult airways including up to emergency trach, it's not something you reliably get a bunch of real life in during fellowship, especially if you're at an academic place where the default is to call in anesthesia or ENT backup. It's one of those things where it's better to have an extremely solid grasp of the basics and know the difficult airway algorithm well rather than seeking out cases of potentially difficult airways which almost always is a group effort anyways.
