Moderate volume clot can also be symptomatic - and doing so can significantly improve distal perfusion 25m skin to skin with filter placement in this patient with hypoxia and right heart strain, and recent GIB. PA pressures 21->11 mmHg. Lots of data upcoming, but I believe thrombectomy undoubtedly has a role in PE management

@LighthouseDPC @Dividend__Doc @shamitsdesai @linemonkeymd @mcuban @DrDiGiorgio @drdanchoi Acting like this, we all lose

@Dividend__Doc @shamitsdesai @linemonkeymd @PhysStaffSolns @mcuban @DrDiGiorgio @drdanchoi I think that's the wrong way of looking at it. Other Doctors should get paid more. Let the Free Market decide.

Doctors are paid too much… @linemonkeymd @PhysStaffSolns @DutchRojas @mcuban @DrDiGiorgio @drdanchoi Only 2 parties bring money/value into care: physicians and patients. Everything else is an INTENTIONAL distraction to leech money. Don’t lose sight of this absolute truth.

@mcuban @henryglasheen Mark. We built a physician owned and operated IR (interventional radiology) service and have staffed hundreds of weeks. We are clearly seeing the market gaps, coverage deserts, and issues related widely in medicine. We appreciate all you’re doing, a service that will help pts!

@henryglasheen Hey Henry ! Most are part of PE or insurance company owned practices. They do it because they are required to, or have to in order to make their bonuses

Doctors and nurses get shit on daily. It’s insane that some doctors have to do 10 surgeries in a day Public medical schools should be free.

@TheRealDoctorOs Love it! Alternative and interesting staffing models is what we’re all about! Go get em

igsmissouri.com My journey is chronicled on linemonkeymd.com I did not enjoy standard IR/DR hospital based practice (2018-2020), so I left to open an OBL with a cardiologist (2020-2021). Left that practice to do several years of independent contracting with both hospitals and my friends/mentors with physician owned OBLs from 2021-2024 with the goal of creating something for myself. In the process I became very acquainted with independent IR practice models, the business of medicine and the non medical knowledge necessary for practice success. Introduced to @OEISociety and now proud to be on their board. In October 2024 I opened my outpatient practice, Image Guided Solutions of MO. We are an independent practice that is part of a larger multidisciplinary network in mid-Missouri. I take occasional weekend call at the University of Missouri where I get I to interact with IR trainees and keep up hospital skills. I have teamed up with several friends/colleagues to create Travelier and @PhysStaffSolns in an effort to make independent IR practice more accessible to our friends and colleagues. I am glad that this conversation is happening @SIRspecialists and will help how I can, but we need the society to move quickly and understand that unpopular decisions will need to be made to ensure the survival of what should be the best specialty in medicine. First we define who we are then we need to work hard to promote physician independence and autonomy. I am very worried about the future. The talent in IR is there, but the leadership has historically not been. Let’s change that.

@bearcat_sherman @anals_of_IR @SIRspecialists The original account is not representative of any IR society but groups like ours are speaking out about the “worth” of IR and redefining it through curated hospital and OBL consulting as well as hospital contracts and short-medium term staffing. Will let you know when we do VS.

@anals_of_IR @SIRspecialists My goodness. A society actually standing up and asking the tough questions for their fellows? Wow. Surgeons never do that. Salary should be discussed and talked about frequently. Academic types always downplay salary and money. This ain’t 1985. Money matters a lot. More than ever

Please first explain how you intend to hire an IR to live in San Francisco for a salary <$500k/year while a 2 bedroom in a reasonable area is $10k in rent / month. That doesn’t include absurd CA and city taxes. We’re listening @SIRspecialists

IRs: Got a few extra weeks off or full-time independent? Sick of bombardment by pushy locum recruiters who skim 30% off your work?! We were too. That’s why we built Physician Staffing Solutions — by IRs, for IRs. 🚀 Flexible. Transparent. No BS. DM to learn more. #IR
