@theblanketdog @averagemoneymd We started contrasting them all here probably back when you were a resident. Much better info--often times helps differentiate between stone, appy, pyelo, abscess, etc and completes the workup with minimal, if any, missed stones. No complaints from uro

@averagemoneymd Why would they give a shit? Would they rather get a "unable to determine if the high density object is phlebolith or stone"? I've had to do that twice JUST tonight.

For the love of GOD can you please order contrast with your renal stone protocols? I promise you'll get more info than you lose. Also I'm not going to get a vessel confused with the ureter. If anything, it helps me give you useful info.

@Romainiac66 @NUCLRGOLF I live on a golf course mostly agree w/you. My yard is well off the course (about 200 yards L of the fairway). I've been impressed when someone breaks our windows (x2--hell of a bad shot), but don't love it when people open my gated fence to come into my yard for a single ball

@NUCLRGOLF Lame. That would be the last time I played this course. You buy a home on a golf course you take your risks and should budget for accidents. Now intentional damage is different.

@drmoneymatters @spartywrx You can have systemwide credentialing and only need to submit documents once but jcaho does prohibit systemwide privileges—meaning that paperwork needs done for each site. It sucks. There is 1 good thing—stops hospitals from forcing you to work at shops you don’t want to.

Hospital credentialing for telemedicine is a disaster! Why does every little hospital in a health system requires separate credentialing? Who is disrupting this?

There’s always something special about a home game in Morgantown at night, like sometimes a head coach gets fired afterwards.

@GamerEMDoc @Kev_In_Med I'm torn--yes, CAS will be less expensive but fear that dual applicants or students using EM as a parallel plan will actually see costs go up as they will have to use both ERAS and CAS--maybe I'm just paranoid but I feel like this part is ignored when we say costs down

@Kev_In_Med EM is a big field, so this will absolutely move the needle for them. Will be interesting to see how they respond.

@ScholerinED I disagree with the courts decision and am worried about democracy after this, but… we actually sorta have this where I work. Employed by state so not liable personally for malpractice if working where assigned by state and the dean. Have to sue state/university, not doc

@emily_fri Me too, I’m totally not an organized fun kinda person IRL. I’ve never been a joiner or attendee of extra activities unless I’m really interested in a topic which makes it hard for me to adapt at work

Take all the money that goes towards GME “wellness” and use it to either make the trainee’s jobs easier or give them more time off. Those were really the only 2 things that significantly impacted my wellness.
Nick Mark MD@nickmmark

If you want a demonstration of just how pointless GME bureaucracy is: In my fellowship, the UW GME office spent millions of dollars a year and employed dozens of people to put on events like this: A “horse wellness event.” 3 residents showed up.

@emily_fri So we are riding the middle—trying to create organized fun during protected time (so that it doesn’t take away from time at home) and then streamlining admin tasks to create more full days off The result? Both groups want us to go all in on one or the other, which is tough

@emily_fri I think this is a hard topic (that we are currently struggling with). We have several vocal residents who want more organized fun (parties, top golf, pizza) while the rest want more time off 1/
