There were multiple points during the first episode where I almost dropped it because it was so badly written, but the ending of that episode was what got me to keep watching.
Sadly the generic writing/dialogue does not stop there, but I will admit it is better than I thought it would be (though I still haven't finished it yet).
It gets better once the MC gets more screen time. Did you finish the episode by chance?Eh it’s okay. Based on the first episode I am not thrilled to keep watching.
Pretty sure Lord Bezos appreciates the view.Is it bad i only watched the last episode and read the wiki to understand the story
Yeah I did. See above.It gets better once the MC gets more screen time. Did you finish the episode by chance?
Oh okay didn’t see it. To each their own.Yeah I did. See above.
"2021 American Association of Nurse Practitioners" sounds like an extremely legitimate, unbiased source to me.Well, there are actually cheaper.

They have 2 MD who signed on that [insert]."2021 American Association of Nurse Practitioners" sounds like an extremely legitimate, unbiased source to me.
To that, I would say money talks. But I don't want to make assumptions, maybe it was a credible study with no broad extrapolations, I just know how some "scientific journals" funded by outside sources can be.They have 2 MD who signed on that [insert].
This is such a cherry picked topic as the study itself doesn't place any associated value with those "saved Healthcare costs " i.e. health outcomes, hospitalizations, etc.Well, there are actually cheaper.

Technically doesn't say "physician" but you reminded me of this one that certainly implies it:
Lol. literally saw chiropractic physician on a drive home last weekTechnically doesn't say "physician" but you reminded me of this one that certainly implies it:
Edited out their name even though it was publicly available information just to be on the safe side.
what about a cathopathic physicianI have seen that and naturopathic physician too many times.
Why can't ACP or AMA have a fire breathing snake on their logo? No wonder docs are losing the war of public opinion.
Not sure. Image was taken from physician group in FBI grew up in this area. I'm very curious which hospital this is. I can eliminate some, I think, and I think I might know which hospital, but I'm not 100% certain.
Man maybe I made a mistake when I chose physician route over PA route.Medscape Physician Assistant Compensation Report 2021
In a year when everything else changed, what was the impact on PAs' incomes?www.medscape.com
They do pretty but still want be called physicians
You and I were (or are) both nurses and trust me that you did not make a mistake if you plan to work for another 25+ years.Man maybe I made a mistake when I chose physician route over PA route.
They're using the word "physician" in there. Can we not in turn ask them to remove it. If they're not a nurse, not a physician-derivate, what are they? Let them figure it out. Resident Physicians who can't find jobs or Medical Students are who should be called Physician Associates. They can call themselves Provider Associates for all I care.
Bad idea..!
Hospitalist salary is more than twice of these salaries
This has to be hyperbolic. Ive seen some pretty competent NPs in my experiences as a premed and as a med student on rotations. Acknowledging that doesn’t negate any efforts to prevent scope creep but you just have to be honest.I mean if you want to trust your life to an incompetent NP, be my guest. I would personally trust the worst medical student with my health than the best NP.

Tbh a 130k is a pretty weak salary in today’s world. Physicians also stand to make much more than average if they’re motivated to, (ethical) PAs are always going to be employees.Man maybe I made a mistake when I chose physician route over PA route.

You really doubled down on that… it’s interesting coming from someone who claims to be a physician. I guess for your sake we should all hope that if you ever have a MI there’s a M3 around instead of a cardiac ICU nurseAs an actual physician
I’ve never seen this, literally ever
Also, you’ve done literally one rotation dude…
Your eyes will be opened when you’re midway through intern year and you realize how incapable and incompetent they all are
I’ve been on rotations since January so no I’ve had 6 months of rotations already. I also worked for several years in a hospital before med school.As an actual physician

I don't think national percentiles are a good way to judge salaries... 20k is the 50th percentile worldwide but you wouldn't tell someone making that in the US they were doing amazing...130k is a pretty weak salary? 130k for an individual is in the 88th percentile of salaries (Income Percentile Calculator for the United States).

As another actual physician, I've seen both. There are some pretty good NPs out there. There's also some pretty bad ones.As an actual physician

I am not an actual physician YET but one thing I have noticed is that even the good NP like to order a bunch of labs. Eveyone has to get a trop and a d-dimer for some reason.As another actual physician, I've seen both. There are some pretty good NPs out there. There's also some pretty bad ones.
Oh yeah, totally over order stuff. No argument there.I am not an actual physician YET but one thing I have noticed is that even the good NP like to order a bunch of labs. Eveyone has to get a trop and a d-dimer for some reason.

When you start looking for a house in a reasonably safe neighborhood with reasonably good public schools come back and tell us how great a 130k salary is for someone who spent their entire youth in school/training/paying off student loans.Well, yes, of course 130k is low for a physician, but you just said 130k is a weak salary in today’s world, which isn’t true. My parents’ household income growing up was quite a bit less than 130k, but we still had very comfortable lives.
Also, I sincerely doubt that most people who make it into medical school could be rockstars in other fields like you’re suggesting. Medical schools mostly value applicants’ abilities to perform as students (GPA/MCAT), to show scientific curiosity (through involvement in research), and to demonstrate altruism (clinical/non-clinical volunteering). None of these things will get you ahead in other fields. I know that, as an engineer, the best way to climb the corporate/technical ladder is by showing creativity, initiative, and people skills. Sure, these are also valuable as a physician, but aside from minimal screening of people skills via interviews, medical schools don’t seem to place much emphasis on them during admissions.

I live in a normal Midwest city and house prices have shot up something ridiculous. A house that used to be 250k when I was in college is now double that amount. if I wanted to make a median household income I would have lived a very different life in my 20’s and 30’s. Making less than 200k isn’t slumming it, but once you account for student loan payments, retirement planning, you quickly realize how little you have for anything above average. I have no interest in talking to the group here that believes the sacrifice to become a physician should be rewarded with being able to afford an average American life. Within healthcare, nurses with a two year associate degree can make 6 figures. Surely you believe there should be a difference in pay. Before you bring in PhDs or lawyers in the argument note that I’m bringing someone in the same field who could be working at the same hospital or clinic as you for a better comparison of financial compensation relative to education and training.Talk about out of touch. You realize that 130k is more than double the median household income, right? Most people living in safe neighborhoods with good public schools are not making 130k.
But to your point, I currently live in a very safe neighborhood with good schools. My wife and I combined make about 140k, and between the two of us, we have a decent student loan burden we are paying off. We live in a 3 bedroom home with 2 kids in an expensive part of the country. Most of the people who live here are not making physician salaries.
The idea that you have to slum it if you’re making less than 200k a year is so absurd and out of touch with reality, I don’t even know what else to say about it.
Also, good for you for buying already, as you’ll have equity if you chose to upgrade. The average medical student today does not own a house, and when they look for their first house it’ll be a moment of reckoning.Talk about out of touch.
