What if I told you it's possible for doctors to care about the money, the patients, the science, and the art of medicine all at the same time?

[Amol Koldhekar, MD @_amolk]

@nikicaga Sure, that’s 7 years of training. Who’s gonna train them? Which hospital are they gonna work at? Which patients are they going to see that doesn’t affect the training of other neurosurgeons? It’s easy to state “obvious” fixes when you have no idea what goes into it.

@DrJMarine You would have to work 717 hours (almost 18 40-hour weeks) just to recoup the cost of the cardiology boards.

@DrDiGiorgio There’s even a marriage penalty.

[Joseph D. Janizek @joejanizek]

this claim is always funny for 2 reasons — (1) you can’t pick a non-quantitative profession in the world more explicitly didactically trained in bayesian stats than physicians, (2) you can’t pick a group of people more interested in low PPV tests (MRI/labs/etc) than Bay Area tech

Love that Epic ‘care everywhere’ still has Op Notes in ‘Misc Notes’ tab-buried in with all the endless RT,RN,RD, etc notes. Entire campus of useless computer geeks and this trash is the best they can fathom?

@DrDiGiorgio The people you wrote this for will not read it or will refuse to understand the depth of your experience and give banal retorts.

[Amol Koldhekar, MD @_amolk]

@chamath Are you an expert in this too now?

[Amol Koldhekar, MD @_amolk]

@DrDiGiorgio Why is it so hard to figure out how much blood a patient has received

[Amol Koldhekar, MD @_amolk]

A healer was murdered by the government he served today. ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

This is the ''Domestic Terrorist'', the ''Monster'', the danger to 8 highly armed men.................

If you dont feel fucking rage, you should.

@helixcardinal I’m not academic. My procedure days I’m done by end of lunch anyway so I go home early those days too.

[Amol Koldhekar, MD @_amolk]

I get a half day off each week which I made Wed AM. Today I woke up without an alarm, had breakfast with my toddler, walked with him to daycare, went to the gym across the street, then met my wife & dog at our neighborhood coffee patio. Best part of being done with training.

@Papa_Heme @UCSDHealth I did fellowship in Vegas and I got free parking, physician lounge access with free breakfast and lunch and coffee, and physician parking lot access. A lot of my peers in other states at academic institutions didn’t believe it.

I love working at outside hospital

[Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA @DrDiGiorgio]

Life in a large hospital system.

Book a short case. Park in the faculty parking lot. Case gets delayed 5 hours. Miss dinner with kids. Get a ticket for parking too long.

I asked my office for patient reviews after my 1st month because I want to see what I could work on

Apparently I should’ve have started my job before I finished training because the wait was too long to get an appointment. Also, I should move my office to be closer to their home

Why does this sound like residency

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

At the world’s busiest airport, Chicago O’Hare, I checked in with a couple air traffic controllers and visited their tower.

Did you know that because of understaffing, many of their controllers are only able to take 4 days off PER MONTH? Controllers, thank you for your dedication to serving our skies. ✈️
