@stacybmitchell I feel you on this. We are basically turned into non-emotional robots. We aren’t allowed to appear fallible.

@olsonplanner Tell them from a former landlord, being a landlord sucks. So hire a good PM company

@SanjeevHerr Bro you applied to neurosurgery which alone means you’re more of a badass than most.

[Jimmy Turner, MD @TPP_MD]

Just your friendly reminder that if you died today, your big hospital would replace you tomorrow.

But your family and friends couldn’t.

Make sure to have those priorities straight.

@drkeithsiau Had it done a few times. Helped me recover after hard training sessions in the gym. Purely anecdotal though

@abbyjoygarcia Good luck!!

Healthcare isn’t expensive.
Bureaucracy is.

Physicians, nurses, and clinical staff are underpaid relative to the value they deliver.

The real cost drivers?

Health system monopolies,
bloated administrative salaries,
and vertical consolidation that forces employers and patients into higher premiums and worse care.

Break the monopoly.
Restore competition.
Bring back physician autonomy.

Always appreciate you advocating for us!

[Tyler Olson, EA @olsonplanner]

If you think physicians are overpaid, maybe you should take the necessary course work in undergrad, take and pass the MCAT, apply for med schools, pay hundreds of thousands for tuition, learn for 4 years in a very high pressure learning environment, then pay thousands more to apply for a training job that you may or may not get, then if you do get it, you get to work 80 hours a week making $15/hour for 3 - 9 years wherein more than one day off in a row is a rarity, all the while many normal life events and processes get pushed to the side, then you FINALLY get a “real” job that’ll pay very well but you’ll realize your patients are not your customers (the insurance companies are), they are the product, and you’ll realize you have a lot to learn about the business of medicine in order to advocate for your patients and for yourself in order to be okay.

Then YOU can say “no thanks I don’t deserve to make that much.”

Or you can just skip all of that, realize now that the insurance and hospital system complexes are trying to hoodwink you, and appreciate the life work and care physicians commit to all of us, recognizing that while all things in medicine play a role in what we see today, physicians themselves are not the villain.

They are on our side.

[JC Leach @JCfuturedoc]

@seanluomdphd @olsonplanner And why should they be paid even close to what an average physician makes? They don’t go through nearly the same amount of training yet get to make important medical decisions.

[JC Leach @JCfuturedoc]

@olsonplanner Agreed. It’s so frustrating.

Ok thank you! I guess I’ll just wait it out since I’m in forbearance already.

[JC Leach @JCfuturedoc]

@olsonplanner So if my app is still pending, I call to see if they can cancel it so I can switch to PAYE or IBR? What do you mean by facilitating the PDF upload? Sorry if this sounds like a boneheaded question. I am in forbearance but I’d love to get started on this

[Tyler Olson, EA @olsonplanner]

Physician compensation is not why you can’t afford your healthcare.

[JC Leach @JCfuturedoc]

@olsonplanner The news of this has made me nauseous.
