I have 3 kids. Had one at the beginning of medical school, one at the end of medical school and one after my first year of being an attending. I work 4 days a week. I have a great relationship with my kids and husband. We typically planned our childcare around his days since he is in business...

Stop by our clinic once and you’d have tons of referrals, meet my referral person and give her a piece of paper with insurance you take and how to refer.

They apparently aren’t allowed to defend their patent when there’s a shortage of the medication. Only when they’re not on the shortage list can they go after the compounding pharmacies. (That’s one of the drug reps told me at least).

Do you know 100% where you want to live? Do you have a significant other? I wouldn’t plan to sign things until 2nd year, that’s when most of my classmates signed agreements or started negotiating as we figured out exactly where we wanted to live and what type of family medicine we wanted to...

What about telemedicine urgent care? If her anxiety is this severe is she considered disabled from working? I have a friend that stopped clinical medicine. She worked for 3 years after residency. Paid off all her student loans and is now a housewife. She’s thinking she might tutor part time...

You can start payments during residency and if you can afford it will count towards your years for loan forgiveness. My payments are still under calculated as an attending because I started practicing shortly before Covid (graduated in 2018) started and the income adjustment has been held for a...

also have you tried contacting the ABFM? They can probably give you idea of direction to start out in.

There’s an orthopedic md working where I am who is doing something through a residency program and working for a rural clinic at same time. I think he’s doing a fellowship program. No idea how any of this works but I checked his credentials and there’s not a US residency on there but there are...

I’m a pcp and I’ve got a great relationship with our local pain management md. Shortly after she started She called me about a complicated patient and we had a nice talk and we text intermittently about patients and random things at this point. She’s told me to pass along to our NPs and other...

100 lbs and they’re still losing. They feel like it’s fixed something messed up in their head. They feel fantastic and are entirely off the 80 units of long acting insulin they were on. That was with mounjaro.
