    Trump convicted. Now what?

    The prosecutor proved that to a jury. The proof was based on the crime. 2 other juries came to the same conclusions based on the evidence from 2 other cases. The burden of proof was on the prosecution. They had records and financial statements proving it.

    What age is the oldest pathologist you know who is still working?

    75-78ish (per diem) Add the Covid-19 pandemic. Volume dropped significantly for 6mo.-1yr, and many who were already contemplating retirement took the pandemic as a sign to call it quits...

    Trump convicted. Now what?

    If a neutral observer read the charges and read the case, the result should be obvious that it's guilty. When I look at this, it appears objective to me. If the case was baseless, I would admit it. Just the fact that he was listed as individual 1 in two cases where Cohen and Weisselberg were...

    Johns Hopkins pathologist Jonathan Epstein has been on leave since May - The Washington Post

    Yeah, being rural, I could imagine that stuff is more prevalent. I've worked at rural hospitals before and they have a tendency to attract doctors who are running from something and/or don't have the most exemplary behavior. But, they can get away with more because those rural hospitals are...

    How did pathology fare in the 2024 match?

    Interesting...I thought Path was roughly half IMG's. Yet this year's Match is just above a quarter. I know 1 year does not constitute the entire makeup of those in practice which may be closer to half than a quarter. I wonder if it's getting more competitive...? There's usually a strong...

    Johns Hopkins pathologist Jonathan Epstein has been on leave since May - The Washington Post

    👆This... Back then, administration overlooked a lot of this kind of behavior. And there were only a few of health care conglomerate-owned hospitals which had the current policies and standard code of conduct enforced today. For anyone who started as a med student 20 or more years ago, they...

    Number of times “job(s)” was used in the titles of the 50 all-time most-viewed SDN threads for each medical specialty.

    Look at the silver lining. Imagine if the job market was actually good...the SDN Path forum would be dead...:dead:

    Crap jobs in Pathology

    This thread was dormant for 2.5 months, then a newbie poster blasts the same one-line message across 3 separate path threads and vanishes...:spam:

    Can't decide between Cards and GI

    That could backfire. If a pt. sees a low rating and thinks you're so dysfunctional, they won't trust you to scope them out of fear 😧. Fewer patients = fewer dollars

    Nephrology is Dead - stay away

    Interesting share. I suspected it had to do with some kind of massive slash in reimbursement and you confirmed it. I'll share a similar occurrence that happened to path. About 45 years ago, pathology was one of the most competitive specialties until the late 1970's when CMS eliminated...

    Nephrology is Dead - stay away

    Pathologist here who stumbled upon this epic, insightful, and somewhat entertaining thread almost 10 yrs running. I had no idea how bad the consensus on nephro is. Our field has its own problems too, so maybe it's human nature to complain or maybe misery loves company, dunno... Jump over to...

    Do I need a CLIA to read AP slides at home?

    This is an answer with shades of grey because not everything is black & white depending on the circumstances. I've never applied for a home CLIA license, so I'm strictly speaking from anecdotal evidence. There are multiple factors involved like quantity/frequency what state you're in and what...

    A.I. - Will it reduce our salaries?

    Sounds plausible. Like most advancements in medicine whether in pathology, surgery, oncology, etc. the changes come first at the biggest hospitals and academic/research institutions. Community hospitals are last. As mentioned, the major effect AI would have would be as an adjunct (not...
