Good news for him is his job prospects shot up dramatically if he scrambles for a spot in IM/FM. The benefits of being fired from a collapsed job market

What an idiot. Honestly, it’s pretty hard to get fired from most residency programs, but the one thing that will invert those odds is if there is some sort of unscrupulous exchange of money going on. If he had just been writing the letters for free to friends and family, I think it would have been a crap shoot whether he would have been fired or just reprimanded. If he was just giving these letters to patients at the hospital, I’m pretty sure the response would have been a severe reprimand but he wouldn’t have been fired.

I have not personally known any residents who have been fired but I have heard a handful of stories from faculty about people who have been fired from various institutions in the past. Essentially all of them involved some sort of unscrupulous “side business.” For example, one resident would personally charge his outpatients cash (on top of billing their insurance on behalf of the hospital).

It seems he has finished his residency and was employed with this group. At least according to the article. He supposedly graduated from Temple in 2018 and did a three year residency at Thomas Jefferson. So …

I'm not sure this is accurate. His FL license is a training license. Maybe he was in a fellowship in FL?

There's a surgeon in my town (sub specialist) who has been selling vaccine exemptions for years. Nobody does anything about it because he's rich and well connected.

But anyway, back to my professionalism lecture about scrubs being too tight or whatever.

You might be absolutely correct. I only posted what I read in the article.

“Warden graduated from Temple University School of Medicine in 2018 and did a three-year residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. He received his Florida medical license in February, listing CRMC as his address of record.”

Everybody knows that you get at least $100 for a medical marijuana card in Florida, if you’re going to be dumb at least make more money doing it.

I'm not sure what's worse... the fact that he did it or the fact that he did it for only $50. If you're going to sell out at least make it for an understandable amount.
