Why do people automatically assume that women who like doctors are just in it for the money? I could elaborate to other reasons why doctors are attractive but the moment you say you are into doctors you are situationally labeled a gold digger. Doctors do you feel this way?

I'm a General physician 29M, with clinical practice experience, pharmacovigilance experience (freelance) and currently working in insurance sector as Physician Reviewer. Do you guys have any Idea about remote work that pays in dollars/Euros for a general physician, with a limitation that I don't have a license to practice in US or EU. Or can you suggest some roles where doctors will be hired without the need for the license to practise in the country of hire. I am ready for relocation if needed.

Hello,

My name is Arielle Zionts, I'm a journalist who covers rural health care for KFF Health News, a national, award-winning nonprofit media outlet focused on in-depth healthcare reporting.

I'm working on a story about the recent trend of state legislation that would let certain international doctors work in U.S. states without re-doing their residency within the U.S.

I'm curious how U.S.-trained MDs/DOs feel about such proposals. For example, would this change impact existing and aspiring US-trained physicians? Would it help shrink physician shortages in rural areas?

Please send me a DM or email me at ariellez@kff.org if you're and MD/DO and interested in sharing your opinions in a phone interview. If you aren't sure if you want to participate you can still reach out and I can answer any questions you have before you decide if you want to continue or not. Also, I will not use any information/names from any written responses to my posts.

Thank you!

I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but… Given the results of the election and the wording of the laws that will inevitably be passed in some states, do you think the revision of ICD-10 will change “spontaneous abortion” to just “miscarriage” to protect patients? We’ve already seen cases of women being jailed for miscarrying. Do you suspect this, and upcoming laws, will create a change in the language in the ICD-11 to protect doctors and their patients from being persecuted?

How will things be different for doctors?

What's your experience with charging for "no-shows?"'

I keep getting hammered with no shows. Our practice does not charge for no-shows, but calls our patients the day before, leaves VMs if they don't answer, and sends email and text reminders to our patients. Still so many just don't show up.

If we started asking for a card on file when they make an appointment, and then charge if they no-call, no-show, will that help? I think it will decrease no-shows, but my supervisors think it will drive patients away, to which I reply "That's fine, let the competitions' offices fill up with patients that don't show up!"

But, I'm worried just asking for card info up front will drive away patients.

Also to know, I'm a newer Allergist/Immunologist and looking for more new patients. I'm not a bursting PCP's office with a 2-3 months wait to get in.

Current resident thinking about taking my first job abroad. A few questions for those that have done it in the past or are still abroad:

• What country did you take a job in?
• How long did you stay abroad?
• Are you happy with your decision?
• Do you feel the decision was worth the pay cut?

I was wondering if there were any doctors here from Florida and what they thought about the current abortion law in Florida, and the abortion amendment 4 that we will be voting on.

You always hear about the pro-choice/pro-life arguments- such as doctors are afraid to Perform abortion procedures because not knowing the law simply says like doctor can perform abortion if women’s life is at risk, but the risk isn’t defined. So, that’s one of the reasons people want amendment 4 passed, and also to allow for a less strict abortion law (I believe?¿) then the pro-life say this amendment is too extreme, and will allow for late term abortion, and not require a doctor to approve the abortion - just any healthcare provider which could be just a staff member at a clinic.

I am not very good with politics/law nor with medical world. But i just wanted to see it from the point of view of a doctor since ads never seem to include that

Thanks!

Whoever at Epic responsible for the Haiku update that provides realtime alerts for every patient who shows up for an office visit is a moron🤬My phone was dinging all morning. Alert fatigue is real.

I am an assistant to a holistic doctor and I really enjoy it. I am looking to branch out and work with more doctors and want to understand what doctors need help with. What do you find most overwhelming about running your own practice? What tasks would you like to offload to someone else? I appreciate your input!

Been practicing for 20 years

Posted in the r/Residency subreddit but no traction; but I’m really curious.

Based on the latest episode of diary of a ceo. Any merit to the theory ?

I have countless friends writing their MCATs and trying to get into medical school, as well as a few nearing the end of their residencies and getting staff positions. It's a weird feeling seeing so many people busting their asses trying to get a spot while having watched others go through the entire training process... just to be a shell of who they were and deeply unhappy. As someone who is considering a career in medicine as well, I'm asking: are (you or) any physicians you know genuinely happy with the route they chose or would you choose differently if given the chance to enter a different career/field?

How difficult is it for medical graduates to clear the USMLE in English who have done their whole MBBS in the German language? What is the difficulty level?
