Any experience with this? The salaries are pretty high.
But is that in a good way or a bad way? Because it could be either...I heard it described as "the last job you'll ever have".
Well, therein lies the rub:But is that in a good way or a bad way? Because it could be either...
My buddy is one for a county population of ~130,000. If you have any specific questions I can ask him.
I work with him Sunday. I’ll ask him and let you know.Yeah I just want to know if he likes the job, what are actual hours you end up being there, is it chill, is it worth it, any regrets, etc. I have indeed heard about the lawsuit issue.
The salary is very high for the job I’m looking at. But really I don’t have any specifics beyond that. This is just a passing question. I’m not seriously considering this at this stage in life. Just had a colleague who was considering such a position but then turned it down.
Words to live byPost the salary, this is the most important part.
Full time 200K, Better be a remote stay at home job
full time 300-400K, need specifics
full time 800K, sign me up and figure out stuff later.
I don’t know man. There seems to be a lot of movies out there where prisoners fake illnesses to gain access to the infirmary as a means to initiate an escape. What always happens to the doctor or nurse? A horrible death that involves something like a scalpel to the neck, a syringe full of poison in the jugular, or a bone saw to the forehead. It seems to me that you’d be better off wearing a red shirt on a Star Trek away team.Post the salary, this is the most important part.

Seriously, most of us who left EM did so because we were sick of dealing with patients having an agenda. Well, way too many prisoners also have bad intentions. No way the state or uncle sugar is paying enough to offset the safety risk.
You’re probably right. Most convicts would probably just dig through the wall at night rather than escape through the infirmary. That, or try to commandeer the plane / bus during transfer to another facility…Movies. Not real life.
The prison that was nearest to my last job sent half their pts to us (halfway between us and another hospital). What I'd heard was the infirmary was respite.
That’s what I did. I mean, would do.You’re probably right. Most convicts would probably just dig through the wall at night rather than escape through the infirmary. That, or try to commandeer the plane / bus during transfer to another facility…
He said: they can sue but you’re covered by tort law so not a big deal, he’s not sure if he regrets it, he only goes in twice a week to sign charts for 30 min - 2 hours but he’s on call every day from 7a-10p. He said a lot of it is primary care, like he has to restart bp meds they haven’t taken for 6 months or start someone on synthroid or adjust their statin but also stuff like treating cellulitis or other urgent care style things. He also said you can get government benefits (at least at his job) which are good.Yeah I just want to know if he likes the job, what are actual hours you end up being there, is it chill, is it worth it, any regrets, etc. I have indeed heard about the lawsuit issue.
