Hey,

If you don't think you'll be able to survive as physician b/c I hired a few PAs, then come work for me.... I'll pay you fairly (more than the PA... promise!) and let you call your own shots... as long as I get a cut! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Since you have a med school background, you could even be the office manager of lab work now and then... have hope!

Chances are, you'll go into practice and realize how wrong you are when you do need extra help (provided you are good) and then hire a few PAs to help you out.. if not, then come knocking on my door! 😀
 
Medlaw06,

A TROLL is someone who continually pokes their nose into a thread for the sole purpose of inciting discord. As Vukken has shown by failing to back ANY of his (****ty) opinions up, I must consider the notion that he might be a TROLL. I become more and more convinced with every post s/he makes.


Vukken,

Your rhetoric was worn out the first time you posted any of your trash on this board, and it continues to be so. You have in no way substantiated ANYTHING you have "said," and I think that most of those reading know who the real ***** is. Back some of your opinions with links or websites or anything besides your bass-ackwards writing and your half-baked insults if you expect to be taken seriously. As of now, for all we know you are some pimple-faced high school student from Bangladesh who gets his kicks by trying to stir things up on the internet.

PharmD's in NYC and in California make $95k-$120k starting salary. This is based on a 40 hour work week. $45-60/hour is the standard starting...
 
I am currently working as a Director.
I see 62 patients a day all by myself;
very broad scope...indeed from acute coronary syndrome to minor trauma.....

And, I work by myself....
I refused PAs to step in my office I am sorry...

I had an NP asking me for work and he was asked me If I was credentialed and I was looking at that imbecile's eyes this is how far we had come in a disgraceful situation.

I think it would be other way around...my office staff tells me PAs are doing many malpractice cases and that's that....

I am just trying to protect those coming after us....

Oh by the way, just as an note my practice average gross is ????? million per year. Ooops trade secret....

So I guess I am not doing too well with these..but I still have energy for some stupid debate...with all those against my views...

Viva Trolll

The revolution of Trolls...

Lazy Physicians should not be in medicine.......
I miss the old times..really...

Since pretty much any imbecile becomes a wannabe Physician these days...
What a sad piece of so called humanity you guys represent.

That's it..that is what I should do screen in med school applicants for future traitors.....

You havent been paying very close attention. Its abundantly clear thru his/her posts that Vukken has an established clinical practice. Meanwhile, you are the green premed who knows virtually nothing about healthcare.

Next time you try to call somebody out, do your research first idiot.
 
Vukken,
Want some dressing for that word salad? Me Love You Long Time!!!
 
I am trying to just guide you my fellow physicians.....

I am just fed up with all that fallacy of AMA and AOA not doing anything for us...
Yes, for us....

I have dealt with very greedy bastards calling themselves physicians...
Some of these guys were paying PAs higher money than MDs...why???

Cuz their brains are rotten from the heart to their soul....
I was really disgusted over this....

I even remember some FP guy cutting into a diabetic patients and not placing him on an antibiotics...When his wound ended up opening up...I was trying to save his ass by doing daily wound care and allowing secondary healing....

then this same FP guy calls me and says you did not have to do that you won't get paid for all that wound care anyhow...

So I said to him really pissed...hey man if you want to cut into somebody at least place him on antibiotics will yah.....This patient wanted to sue you as a side note and I told him it would not be needed since with wound care he would heal nice.....

Plus I still would have done wound care even if it was free because our first mission is to care....we can't make money all the time....

This is what I did for a fellah Physician who was a *****...really.....he was not thankful at all for all these.

If I have enough money I would hire a Physician instead of shortchanching my patients. yes....and I would not expect him to stay with me forever....Physician training is designed for an independent practice enventually....unless this same physician wants to stay in group practice...

Actually, I would want physicians to go and open their own practice...I think that is the right thing to do...population is growing so why not support new physicians....

But, I do advocate for one year of social service year before PGY-2 for all residencies like a matching process nationwide...So either you do Neuro or Fp you may end up either in Guam or alaska for one year....working and serving the public...that may help with the shortage of physicians...in rural areas in our nation...I also believe that will teach young physicians about their limitations.....This social year should qualify for loan repayment...what a nice treat that is....

Oh well....

Please do not get offended for my comments...
I just get outraged about the silliness of our profession...

MacGyver,

I have resisted the temptation to call you out in the same way many of the others on this board routinely do. The reason for this is that you have at least TRIED to substantiate some of your claims with evidence that the rest of us can look at for ourselves. Although I usually disagree with most of what you post, I have appreciated it when you post links that sometimes provide a different point of view. Futhermore, I HAVE been keeping up with the thread, and even if I was convinced that Vukken does run a practice (WHICH I AM NOT), his anecdotes do not constitute data. Show me in a respected print source that the things s/he is saying are supported.

Additionally, as the banter between you and I has until now been civil, I kindly ask you to recant the insult at the end of your last post. I would also counsel you to be a little more thorough with your reading as I have made it clear that, quite aside from being a premed, I am a medical student currently doing clinical rotations. I sincerely hope that you and I can remain (get back to) addressing one another in a respectful fashion.

this is pathetic when a freakin' med school student has to "step in" and put things in perspective, but here is my attempt anyway:



DO ALL YOU PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD NOT SEE THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS!!!!


There OBVIOUSLY is no CORRECT answer to this debate....and FREAKIN' fighting over it like elementary school children is NOT going to solve anything, BUT ONLY TEAR THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY MORE AND MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No...I am not saying we sing "kum-by-yah" (sp?) while holding hands around a campfire and smoking a peacepipe...

what I AM saying is STOP ACTING LIKE BABIES!!! 😀 😀 😀

Medlaw06,

I too am "just a med student," but I think that maybe you have gotten my point of view wrong. There are many things that we could do better with healthcare in America, and I think most of us are agreed on that at least. I am not putting forth any solutions, rather I am adamant that THE PROBLEMS DO NOT STEM FROM THE EXISTENCE OF MIDLEVEL PROVIDERS. It seems more and more that Vukken and MacGuyver are on a witch hunt of sorts, and I don't feel like standing by and letting it proceed. That said, you are quite correct when opining that the discourse can be less than mature at times.


Willamette
 
Do what you feel like......

I am following my moral ethics about my profession...

If you want to selll yourself for 5 cents then hey that is your business..

Vukken99,

How about you cut it out with the name-calling? Maybe then we can have an intelligent dialogue...

Ok Vukken, if you really are a physician, then you deserve some credibility in this discussion. But please, if you don't mind, stick to the issues and don't twist them to suit your agenda. You and I were discussing something completely separate when you attacked me as a PA by calling me a sellout and what not. Why do you think I went back to medical school, because I was some PA spy? You really need to think before you speak. And whether or not you really want to hear this, you need to realize that as an osetopathic physician, you are making us DO students look stupid. Whether the truth hurts or not, as a physician, one expects that you can forumulate complete thoughts in English, at least in the written sense. I mean you have time to formulate your thoughts before you speak here, so please try and sound a bit more educated. Obviously you made it through medical school if you are who you say you are, but your attitude and rhetoric shed a poor light on us other DO's following in your footsteps. Its worrisome when you see students acting like Kindergartners around here, but its crazy to think you could be an attending I might be working under. Show the maturity of an attending if you really are one, and might you consider lurking on a physician forum? I mean what you are doing here almost qualifies as statutory rape in the sense of what maturity level you should be on compared to us!!
 
try to listen more will yah...

instead of opening your mouth even your frontal lobe maybe ashamed of your comments...

things are bad out there who you kidding......

You will see.......

I am doing well but many are not......

This is because I can speak four languages and my patient base is really broad...

Oh well you figure it out.....

DO students should be proud of someone like myself...
I did not go to school to be an NBC anchorman...
I went to DO school to become a Physician....and I am proud to be a DO unlike many of my colleagues who have attended school with me.
 
That was better Vukken, but try and use a few commas, separate two distinct thoughts (like the frontal lobe statment and the opening of the mouth statement), and actually complete a sentence. I realize you may not be trying to imitate Tom Browkaw, but can you shoot for imitating a fluent physician who has at least a college level composition course behind him? And your practice sounds very successful, so I applaud you for that. But don't forget when you are "styling in that Durango" that you are ultimately judged by how well you come across. And here, the only thing to judge you by are words. I just hope you will think about that before you decide to blanketly represent the DO profession all the while leading readers to believe that they are conversing with someone who is likely simultaneously watching "Blues Clues". Good luck in all you do.
 
gee...
I did not know they accept monkeys in DO schools these days....
 
Whatever man. I guess you coined the motto "C=DO". Even your jokes are incomprehensible. Monkey....good one. You are now on IGNORE for the duration.
 
who cares about some ignorant person like you....
Pa loving wannabe true Doc...

I could care less and I would make sure people like you get put away fast...within the trash of my backyard
 
ignoring...no idea what you said
 
It's kind of nice only having to read the rational side of a discussion. He's on my ignore list too.
 
Banned! Finally.

How long 'til we get "Vukken100" though?


Willamette
 
Yeh, what Vukken did not take into consideration was the old sniper saying....that you never hear the one that takes you out!! Adios amigo!
