    Ambulatory Surgery Center

    In today's political/insurance climate, if you were given the opportunity to invest in a new start up physician owned surgery center, would you all do it? Assume diverse multi specialty investors with none having investments in other surgery centers. Is it lucrative in general or is there...

    Pelvic Exam - When is it really useful?

    My main thing is I don't let my lack of wanting to do something dictate what I do. If that means I do a pelvic, I'm doing it.

    Pay to be a resident in Baylor (Houston)

    Source is my uncles son who supposedly a resident there. Said that sometime after the start of residency, he was told to pay for 2 semesters. Seems like it was undisclosed during the interview process... Which to me sounds fishy. I don't believe this is a possible scenario. And he says they...

    Calling a Dr. about drug interactions and allergies

    Not sure about others but I don't mind getting calls at all. It's better that way.. in case I missed something. Anytime a pharmacist calls the ER to talk to me to clarify a script, I always let them know that I appreciate their call and that I'd rather them call me than me miss an allergy or...
