@texual @olsonplanner The idea of 1099 is great, but with the right people. I was semi forced into a 1099 situation when my W2 employer list the hospitalist contract. Pay was not much better ( even when adjusting for tax advantages), zero benefits. Abuse and disrespect on steroids

@ebtapper @HEP_Journal @sholzberg @AmmarSarwarIRad I don’t think IR on the ground agrees….

@prioritypasscom don’t you think it’s ridiculous that members flying to a Schengen destination from MUC cannot access any of your 2 lounges? What’s the point to have a membership?

@JAMA_current 4 years is not enough. While I see how going to college for 4 years before med school serves some students, itvadds unnecessary schooling years for folks who know early they want to be doctors. The 6 years programs prepare better doctors

@noahkaufmanmd I was 1099 with a private group. Worse than W2, pretty much slavery and mistreatment at every step. Never again

@pgMedicine Hypercapnia does not cause syncope, it causes altered mental status but does not meet the definition of syncope ( sudden onset, short duration- 1 min or less, spontaneous complete recovery)

[Remus Popa @remusmd]

@AaronGoodman33 Good luck in your new adventure. Private practice works when it has the right setup and with the right people. As a hospitalist my experience as an independent contractor with a private group is the cautionary tale. Still recovering from it after 9 months

Listening to @anneghena - our 2024 STARS Faculty Excellence Award recipient - talk at the @hvpaa National Conference about why HVC matters and why it will always matter! @ChrisMoriates @Pahwa

@Darcy_ID_doc @UCSDHealth @UCSDMedSchool Have a great next adventure ( I might have missed it, where will you go?) . You made a difference at UCSD and I’m sure you’ll make a difference at your next stop

[Remus Popa @remusmd]

@gbosslet Your patient waa randomized to the placebo arm…

[Remus Popa @remusmd]

@Darcy_ID_doc hope all is well. Getting questions about Resolve MDX for UTI dx, cannot find much literature, mostly company ads. Is it just a faster culture? OK to use? I assume still requires symptoms etc for dx

@malkeasaad I was a board certified internist in Europe when I moved to the USA. Based in my experience, I recommend at least one year of training when moving over. Learning the system is important. Personally I am happy I went through full residency again here

[Remus Popa @remusmd]

@AskCapitalOne why is it so difficult for the travel department to change my flight reservation for involuntary cancellation by airline? @Lufthansa_USA says it’s all good but Capital One must do it cuz it’s booked through them. 5 calls and many promises later, no resolution

Thanks to @JHospMedicine for publishing or work on reducing labs with a dashboard. This was a dream when I presented to @ABIMFoundation in 2013 and now to see it in print is amazing - https://t.co/HoNErUhhhp @PamelaJohnsonMD @OslerResidency @JohnsHopkinsDOM

@VPrasadMDMPH Plus milestone ratings are based on evaluations from faculty, which are at least partially subjective and with low completion rates

[Remus Popa @remusmd]

@jason_ryanmd 50% is too high, as an average. But 20% , probably. The strategy is delay, rather than risk it and fail. First time pass is important for the student and the school. Residency programs would have to analyze the timeline on that application thoroughly to detect it
