A series: Me wondering- men, why?

[ViCk @unOGdoc]

*me wondering why a guy didn't text me back*

Guy: "You're so beautiful."

Me: "I owe it all to makeup and spanx."

At orientation for my MEd, and they just asked what my anxiety dream is

... medicine is weird bc I can't say mine is having killed someone bc I was not good enough or smart enough to save them

[ViCk @unOGdoc]

Residency is just about being plagued by the same self-doubt I haven't known since puberty.

I don’t believe the “40% of med students don’t plan to practice” stat…but even if I did, here’s some more relevant stats.

- the government has cut RVU reimbursement year over year, while inflation has only increased…in the past few years alone we took a double digit pay cut because of government @MedicareGov reimbursement when adjusted for inflation

- private equity has taken over healthcare, fairly unchecked. This results in bad patient care, unstable healthcare markets and poor working conditions for physicians…

-healthcare administrators have grown 3800% versus physician #s growing 200% since the 70s. This represents declining physician autonomy and an overwhelming administrative burden…much of which is created by government programs like CMS “Quality Measures” which are less about care quality and more about gamesmanship and documentation burden

- insurance companies have a chokehold on the finances of healthcare…and their lobby dollars fund the congressmen who help keep them in power and allow them to continue to squeeze physicians and patients both

How ‘bout you work on some of those issues, Congressman…and get back to the med students after you do?

@PepinDist hey! We are looking for the treasure cove tickets! My friends and I logged on 11am CST but it said unavailable? Did it sell out in the first minute???

[ViCk @unOGdoc]

@DrCasteelEM Mostly for fem also

[ViCk @unOGdoc]

@DrCasteelEM My other problem is that in our heavier patient population, a lot of them will get kinked from the pressure of the skin etc before you can thread the wire 😅
