@olsonplanner This has been going on for years. New grads take the bait and private practice can’t compete. Then they come looking into private practice and don’t realize how hard they have to work to build the practice to match the $$$s they expect.

Congress about to figure out ways for college football programs, coaches, and players to make more money while at the same time cutting payment to doctors.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

An absolute crisis.

Congress NEEDS to act. For months, I’ve been working night & day to try to bring Republicans and Democrats together to save college sports.

If we fail to do so, it will be an utter tragedy. And it’s happening right before our eyes.

@olsonplanner @WCInvestor I’m guessing applauding paying off low interest school loans

@olsonplanner Claiming both $500K depreciation and $90K appreciation on the same real estate

@olsonplanner I’d agree with 3 years and no path partnership is bad and 65% overhead is also bad. Has this been the same payment structure for 3 years?

[Joey Bluhm, MD FACS @bluhmMD]

@olsonplanner What percentage of people are drowning in debt? I’d bet it’s high

[Joey Bluhm, MD FACS @bluhmMD]

@olsonplanner Thanks for reminding me that doctors don’t get tips

[Tyler Olson, EA @olsonplanner]

Smart financial moves doctors make:

• Getting advice early - not after major mistakes
• Automating saving + investing
• Spending intentionally
• Buying insurance before they need it
• Saying no to common “doctor” FOMO

@olsonplanner @PhysicianCents Great episode

[Joey Bluhm, MD FACS @bluhmMD]

@EPotterMD It’s a lost cause. Too many doctors have become employed by hospital systems who negotiate lower rates for the physician reimbursement, who in return, get higher facility fees. This lowers the fair market value for the private physician.

@olsonplanner Me after negotiating an increased ER call stipend

[American College of Surgeons @AmCollSurgeons]

Current surgeon compensation models typically do not account for increasing student debt levels that continue to escalate.

Drs. Angela Sickels and @JBartRose highlight their research conducted at @uabmedicine that was published in @acsJACS. https://t.co/BBY5GNVlLv

@olsonplanner Garbage

[Joey Bluhm, MD FACS @bluhmMD]

@AmCollSurgeons There are plenty of colorectal surgeons. They just choose to not take emergency calls. And hospitals choose not to pay them to cover call despite wanting fewer complications and fewer infections.
