Update: I have successfully created and ran my own dot phrases exactly like I did in epic EMR and it's awesome. I have created a TON of templates w/o any problems at this time. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot! I've been trying it and watching tutorials, so far it's promising...

I've been trying to find a solution to this for over a year with no luck, maybe someone here can help! With Epic EMR I was absolutely in love with the smart/dot phrases. For those who never used this, you would have all your custom templates saved and labeled and to get it to pop up while...

OP, Absolutely I would do it again. But it may not be for you and it may not be for a lot of people. Good job on doing research. These forums tend to be filled with a bunch of bitter pusses that would never be happy in other fields so take it with a grain of salt. Grass is always greener with...

I can speak for Jewish, it's a very solid, respected, well rounded program with good surgical load. It was one of my favorite externships. They provided free housing right beside the hospital and it was great making friends with other students in the housing. We would have movie night and go to...

Just curious what did you not like about TrakNet? This is what I use in the office now. OP, I use Traknet for office work and officeally for housecalls but have switched from many other EMR. I am surprised at how much I like office ally. It's cheap/free and fairly easy to navigate but I have a...

I came from a residency where my head attending was very cautious, like he would probably get permission from the OB doctor before prescribing a pregnant woman ammonium lactate lol. Thing is you're probably fine, but it's 2018 and we live in a litigious society and you gotta protect yourself. I...

Good question and in my opinion yes it does. As a matter a fact sometimes I don't fax the PCP my PVD template and instead I just fax them my note and thanks for the referral but in my note it clearly states the PVD and I mention that the PCP is to monitor vascular issues. Even in my clinic we do...

Thanks creflo. Actually I started faxing my first year out but I'm yet to have any problems so far. I don't see why they would get irritated. When you fax the document the fax machine will print out a fax report form and we just save/scan that along with the document we sent. With the diabetic...

Correction to my post: put the 59 on the 2nd procedure which is the nails in my example. I disagree and am unsure how you could disagree when I'm giving real situations. We will have to agree to disagree because I think we have two different expectations of what a decent salary is. As a 2nd...

So much misinformation being spread on this forum. First myth, you can't survive off a practice based mainly on RFC. Yes you can and I will easily explain why and in some instances it pays even better. Second, someone above said "Do NOT bill insurance for ANY nail care or RFC unless a patient is...

As a 2nd year attending it is amazing how my mindset has changed. When I was a 4th year student I lived for surgery and I almost chose my residency so I could train under Dr. Dror Paley to learn limb lengthening. I was all about that stuff and I was damn good at it. But boy have I changed. Last...

Does anyone know the shelf life/expiration of NaOH once the bottle has been opened? Another doctor had given me a bottle of NaOH and it had crystals forming in it so I discarded it and bought a new one. I'm reading mixed things, but this could make a huge difference if one has to replace this often.

Thanks, I added it to the list.

During residency I did all my matrixectomies by physically removing the matrix with a blade because the hospital banned phenol, so I only did chemical matrixectomies a few times at private practices. Now that I'm in my own practice I have been debating which chemical to use. Why don't more...
