The fracture etc eventually has to be operated on. May not happen that night but often is added on the next day after their scheduled cases or after office hours. Or added onto a weekend. If there is already a lineup on Saturday for example, you may be stuck operating on a Saturday afternoon etc.

Federal minimum wage is crap. Different states have different minimum wages. CA minimum wage is high. Let's be honest, most servers like the concept of tipping because they generally will make well above minimum wage. If it's cash based, I'm sure servers like it even better. You think your...

That's a myth. In any state, if the total hourly wage and tips do not equal the minimum wage (federal), the employer has to make up the difference. This never comes up because tipped workers easily exceed this. Regardless, in CA, the minimum wage is very high. No need to tip on food I'm...

No. I never tip on food I'm picking up. I'm going through the trouble of getting it. Why do they deserve a tip for packaging the food?

That's a good situation. But he's producing 90th percentile RVUs and getting paid appropriately. Not the norm for your typical urogynecologist. Good for him on hustling but median wRVUs is around 6500 to 7500.

That income is not the norm for urogynecology. The work hours I believe (lack of call, emergencies etc) but our procedures do not reimburse that much to make $700k on a regular basis.

You and I both know that's only popular because people are all too happy to tax OTHER people. If there was a blanket tax increase on ALL people, I doubt there would be support for a tax increase. Most normal people aren't really thrilled about paying more taxes. And how are you going to post a...

I pay enough taxes. I have no desire to pay more. I'm guessing most other people who make more than $400k feel the same way.

That's a bit over dramatic. You should be fine. I'm not a Tesla fan but my colleagues who have them are generally pretty happy.

Agreed. Once you become an attending it's reasonable to loosten the purse strings a bit and enjoy life. Just make good decisions. It's interesting in seeing the dichotomy online with people hyping FIRE versus what I see in my day to day life. Most of the physicians I interact with at the...

https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl If you want to be braindead about this go ahead. Feel free to compare the purchasing power of $1000 from four years ago to now. It's over 20% difference from inflation. This is from the US governments own CPI calculator. If that's not concerning to...

Lol. He has to drum up extra crap to make money. There's only so many articles you can write that talk about spending wisely and investing in a broad market fund consistently which is basically what any physician needs to do generate a healthy seven figure portfolio. Without anything new, his...

No budget apps. Just use a simple spreadsheet, Google sheets. Track my net worth monthly. It's nice to see how far I've come over the last few years. I keep a list of major expenses (mortgage, various insurance policies, property tax etc) and get a good Idea of my monthly costs. The price...

https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=1000&year1=201601&year2=202003 CPI calculator. $1000 in 2016 has the same buying power as $1089 in 2020. $1000 in 2020 has the same buying power as $1210 in 2024. 20% loss in purchasing power. Remind me again why this is a me problem. Oh wait...

Any opposition to non competes is based on pure greed. There are no non competes in California and the health care industry functions fine. Physicians have freedom to leave crappy jobs and still practice in the same community. It's great. I worked for a small health system (bogus non profit...
