@rbarbosa91 @Asiritrauma1 @ZhiVenFongMD I think this is the actual genesis and I wish they would just come out and say it

@ZhiVenFongMD @georgoff It’s an absurd recommendation and the rationale for making the recommendation is non-sensical.

Gonna love all the post-ERCP pancreatitis for all the “previously unidentified” and likely asymptomatic and never would be a problem CBD stones.

@VikingRobVWO I find it annoying that I have to update my DD214 and SGLI every year even though nothing has changed but I do it anyway because the tracker says I have to.

[Mike Lallemand @GroundLvlFall]

@VikingRobVWO Who are the “many” advocating for this? I don’t read this as JAG lady knocking MDs and nurses IQs. Most of us in the medical world still believe in the effectiveness of vaccines. Flu can be hit or miss. Some years it works real well. Some years it’s a flop.

@nickmmark Yes. You’re absolutely right. But this is like a true, true, and unrelated situation. If you follow him he absolutely understands compounding interest and he’d make more money in the long run by putting it into something with more than a 3.75% interest rate

@crypto_condom @SalaryDr There isn’t that much of a difference in pay

[Mike Lallemand @GroundLvlFall]

@crypto_condom @SalaryDr Lol. Where do these $300-400/hr jobs exist? $295 is the highest hourly I’ve found

And places offering $150 for trauma coverage are very common. They’re also very commonly begging for coverage cause no one wants to take that job

This post was 100% written by ChatGPT but it is so important to know that missed or non-diagnosis because of using noncon CTs is much more likely to lead to renal injury (and death) than using contrast on a CT and getting your PE/aortic dissection/appendicitis diagnosis correct

@Fynnderella1 @BrokenTruthTV @neoavatara @DogeBonkBonker I know 3. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Mike Lallemand @GroundLvlFall]

@Fynnderella1 @BrokenTruthTV @neoavatara @DogeBonkBonker Everyone I know that has is over the age of 50. Apparently now it is a requirement to have a bachelors. They’ve changed it from the minimum 90 hours of course work with the above pre-reqs

[Mike Lallemand @GroundLvlFall]

@BrokenTruthTV @neoavatara @DogeBonkBonker It does appear that this has changed since I went through the process nearly 20 years ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

[Mike Lallemand @GroundLvlFall]

@BrokenTruthTV @neoavatara @DogeBonkBonker The only school I’m aware of that requires a bachelors is the Uniformed Services University because it’s a requirement to commission and be an officer.

[Mike Lallemand @GroundLvlFall]

@BrokenTruthTV @neoavatara @DogeBonkBonker Yes. I know several. That are around my age. There are a lot I know that are of an older generation. Different schools will have different requirements. The minimum is 2 semesters of chemistry, 2 of organic chem, and 2 of physics. Some require biochem. Some require calculus

@JohnAnthonyMD @RepFitzgerald Seeing as how resident salaries are paid/subsidized by CMS/medicare and that amount hasnt changed since when? The 90s?

[Mike Lallemand @GroundLvlFall]

@rick_sherwood85 @molsjames Do you think residents being able to negotiate salaries would increase the number of matched US medical students?
