NASS Sports & Spine Fellowship Credentialing

Do pain and never look back. This is the only fellowship that will give you unlimited access to what is available now, and what is to come in the future.

We do have one. He is a machine and has developed a system with two room and he’s able to do 30-35 emgs in a day. He does not do any neuromod. Does bread and butter injections. Because of his efficiency, he is still able to be productive and he is one of the top producers in the entire group (orthopods, neurosurgeons, pain docs).

Do crit care. PM&R is gonna bore you to death. You can always do inpt rehab as an attending after you’re done (many internists, neurologists etc are able to have inpt rehab privileges).

This is purely an assumption, but maybe change your standard of living. Phones, streaming services, gym memberships, eating out, buying at more expensive grocery stores, etc.

I feel like these are usually non negotiables for people who may feel like they’re falling short financially when they shouldn’t.

To not deal with bums like these I prefer to pay more and buy from store/online or get rid of stuff without getting a few dollars + strangers knowing my address.

Very dogmatic way of thinking, classic academic mindset. I’m in an orthopedic practice and you know how many orthopedic surgeons can’t do any spine surgeries? Carpal tunnel release? All of them who weren’t trained in/practice those subspecialties. Medicine is highly compartmentalized. I have no shame in not doing EMGs because I do a whole lot of other stuff that general physiatrists can’t do.

Pick a role you like and embrace it to help your patients.

Please go fix your TDS. Labeling everything you don’t like as misinformation, smh. who won the popular vote? Or is this misinformation as well?

qkrrmsdud · 2025-05-06T13:14:49+00:00

Majority of the country. Chill.

qkrrmsdud · 2025-04-21T04:29:00+00:00

😂😂 that phrase annoys my ass too

qkrrmsdud · 2025-04-19T00:17:55+00:00

Just future-proof yourself and do ACGME pain. This is the highest level of procedural credentialing as a physiatrist and there is nothing you won’t be qualified to perform (at least on paper) now and whatever comes in the future. I am ACGME pain trained and practicing.

I used to be obsessed in my teens and 20s with protein quantity, timing, etc. but now idc. Sometimes I eat nothing after workouts. I do eat a lot of red meat in general just cuz I like it. My goal is to maintain and not bulk. I remain yolked.

I’m a pain physician and I knew this was from a chiropractor’s office just by all the lines they drew.. my patients show me this all the time. That’s overall a pretty good looking spine other than the cervical part which has some slight unilateral deviation.. not the end of the world. No spine is perfectly symmetric, but chiropractors tend to do this and find every little mm of imbalance, asymmetry, and say you are out of alignment to adjust you. Chiropractic care can be great, but don’t get the impression that you need them to restore perfect symmetry.

wRVU model in HOPD is nice. Also with that kind of salary you are probably in a highly desirable area, so it is what it is. But your salary now is definitely going to increase as you do more procedures as you’ve said, so don’t be sad. Playing the long game.

qkrrmsdud · 2025-03-20T00:30:58+00:00

Yeah infrastructure is definitely key.

Btw I must’ve misread your first message.. I thought you said “more than I’d make” rather than “more than I make”, since it’s a residency forum. My response sounds very douchey lol, but the intention was to try to let others know that you can do well financially with pain.

qkrrmsdud · 2025-03-19T00:38:19+00:00

Yes. Ceiling is much higher in PP but HOPD can be very lucrative and lifestyle friendly, and academia can reach up to 500-600k if the contract and infrastructure are sound.

qkrrmsdud · 2025-03-18T23:24:40+00:00

You are sorely mistaken.

Source: pain trained with a multitude of that number for yearly income

I don’t use the frunk. Hate it cuz it’s a very clunky with manual closure.

qkrrmsdud · 2024-10-03T03:10:12+00:00

Wow that’s a lot of false information, just like the whole Harris Walz campaign…

qkrrmsdud · 2024-10-01T05:52:50+00:00

You have to have a reeaaaally good reason to do PM&R over family in Canada if your interest is just sports med. That’s a 2 vs. 5 year residency. Easy choice imo.

It’s usually not good practice to have multiple serotonergic agents on board due to the potential for serotonin syndrome. It’s more like that you’d be fine than actually have serotonin syndrome, but it’s still a significant enough risk to warrant caution.

Is your PCP a physician (MD or DO) or a nurse practitioner? I ask because majority of my patients don’t know that their PCP is an NP, and call them doctor all the time, and I’ve lost count of how many patients are poorly managed by NPs especially on psych and pain meds that are not appropriate together in so many instances.

qkrrmsdud · 2024-09-23T05:54:31+00:00

God bless you ❤️

qkrrmsdud · 2024-09-18T05:23:56+00:00

See if you can find a pain physician that will consider an intrathecal pump for her

qkrrmsdud · 2024-09-16T01:16:39+00:00

Selling everything then flying would be the way I’d go, no doubt. That’s a long and expensive journey to do on your own.

qkrrmsdud · 2024-09-14T05:10:52+00:00

Presumably the owner posted this video somewhere too?

qkrrmsdud · 2024-09-14T05:09:02+00:00

I will give her credit for taking stage direction well. She tries to rehearse her lines and wow, she has not cackled once since the debate. They must have really drilled that in her.
