Help me: If I am meeting my wRVU target, how can I be told I need to increase the number of patients I am seeing (see more or see them more quickly)? Or will the response from admin be that my target needs to be higher if there is room in the day to see more pts?

people's lifelong passion matches compensation so closely

so weird

How many of you are giving 6 more weeks of cx directed abx post reimplantation in 2-stage PJI management (a la https://t.co/8bdlSbBDfI)?

@ShohamTxID How do you operationalize this?

[Arturo Casadevall @ACasadevall1]

Long ago, the field of ID could have carved out paid niches in the interpretation of cultures, susceptibilities, etc. (like other specialties do). However, none of that happened and today the specialty can't attract sufficient fellows because other fields are more lucrative.

[Alex Stang @AlexStangMD]

@ShohamTxID I just heard about another ID fellowship graduate from a great program who is now a hospitalist doing general medicine. It’s about the same thing - compensation. No matter your passion, how interesting the cases, at the end of the day, it’s a job.

[Shmuel Shoham @ShohamTxID]

The volume and frequency of distractions in modern medicine has created a stressful work environment. MyChart messages, EPIC chat, emails, texts, pages, etc. it's out of control. Can't talk with patient or colleagues or think without a distraction. This culture's got to change.

@CGentPharm @ABsteward The amount that this has been replayed with Gen Med and MICU residents makes this less than my favorite. I am tired of sequels.

@Abx_doc @FungalDoc At higher heart rates Bazett’s tends to overcorrect. Or if the QTc interval is due to wide QRS it might not have the same implication.

@Abx_doc @FungalDoc Not a cardiologist but what QTc formula are you using? - https://t.co/9iDdJIvLns
