"Gentleman's group"

[ethilo]

I've heard the term gentleman's group tossed around a few times describing an anesthesia group and I'm having a hard time understanding what that means. Can anyone enlighten me?

As far as I have interpreted, it seems selective in who they hire, probably makes very good money for the work they do?

Is it like the male equivalent of a "mommy track" job? Minimal call, prioritizing vacation and part time, probably easier cases?

I don't know for sure but it sounds like an equitable group with a collegial and supportive atmosphere where you don't have to work too terribly hard but still do pretty well for yourself.

Or maybe they have a hidden office where they have all the strippers and cocaine.

 

[dabears505]

Definitely not a mommy track position. Refers to a work hard play hard group. Lots of money, lots of call, lots of talented partners, lots of visits to gentleman clubs, etc.

Gigachads with acromegalic jaw lines.

They golf with the ortho bros regularly.

But seriously? That’s a weird way to describe a group. Trying to put it as nicely as possible that they will circular file the CV of any female or doc that wants a structured contract. It’s a handshakes and promises type group and maybe you get what’s yours if you fall in line.

I agree. Sounds like a Boy's Club.

There's a group near me like this. All MD/DO's are bros. 80% of CRNAs are bros. Remaining 20% of CRNAs are young blondes. I interviewed with them and wish I was joking.

That is a suspicious number of bros. SF?

My group is the opposite. Mostly nerds 🤓. How’s that wordle?

Dude, a gentleman's group has 80 percent hot blonde crnas, not 80 percent bro crnas.

Sounds more like a sausage fest.

I'll take nerds over bros. I'm a nerd.

Both can be tolerable in appropriate doses 😉

The brogrammer does exist in medicine. They’re called orthopods.

If you think about it though, just as many nerds as bros in ortho.

You must quordle next. It scratches some of that sudoku itch

Most are too scared to say it... Gentleman's Group likely means the following:
1) Little to no minorities
2) Little to no women
3) Maximal partner pay at the expense of the revolving new grads
4) Minimal contract structure
5) Promises of being made partner in 4 years then unexpectedly failing to meet expectations in year 3.85

Nobody else is 2022 would describe themselves in such terms. Chances its composed of 90% 45-65yr old while dudes who golf, drive hot cars, watch the sweet 16 religiously, and like their 3rd wives the best of all. I could be completely wrong, but I doubt it.

I’m 0/4 on quordle so far but got pretty close (3/4) last 2 games.

I just got 4/4. But it was down to the wire, took me all 9 tries.

You can use the practice tab to hone your strategy. I try to use up all good vowels and letters in the first 3 slots, then the rest can be solvable by 4, 5, 6, 7

Thank you, I've been waiting for this prediction. From the small tidbits of information I've gathered I think you've filled in the picture most accurately.

What are you go to startijg words to use up the good vowels and letters?

Iotas is a good one. Quordle is definitely more challenging than wordle, but totally doable.

How large of a group was it?

 

[Agast]

I got lucky for this one (3, 4, 5, 6)

I like to start with EA words. It’s actually not useful to use all the vowels up in the first two moved because in quordle you want to maximize ruling out as many consonants and making unique words with each guess until you’ve turned over enough letters.

+1
They will often have a minority locums/prn guy to do the labor intensive cases, like 4 hour oculoplastic office based anesthetics the whole day without break or lunch. Of course none of the bros wants to do but they know the surgeon from golf, or country club.
And they will present it as a great opportunity to you while skimming 50% of the profit themselves... 🙂

yup.

Quordle just doesn’t have the quick hit dopamine fix that Wordle does.

Finally got one…whew!

Wait til @bergus95 comes in here saying he can do surgery, do anesthesia and do quordle all at the same time, and better than anyone else..

while being an intern, without complete his 6 months of anesthesia yet.

Wait until he’s a second year. Will be even better than better.

Next thing u know bergus95 is taking up chess and thinks he is better than a grandmaster, then after that he plays a little bball and thinks he is better than LeBron. Then he tells everyone "prove to me I'm wrong"

I have literally never heard that term relating to an anesthesia practice and would guess someone is messing with you.

So, in the spirit of upholding the title of this thread... Is quordle a gentleman's game???

I think we established gentleman's club as being full of bro's, and that quordle is a game for nerds. In any case,

BLUNT
CHOIR
GAMES

They definitely venture into weirder words than Wordle usually does. But then again the hardest word I’ve had is “geese.”

 

[nimbus]

I use adieu. Not sure why it’s allowed since it’s French. 2nd word is often focus if I don’t get many hits with adieu.

 

[avb21]

The term "gentleman's group" in anesthesia typically refers to a practice that offers a highly desirable lifestyle—minimal call, good pay, predictable hours, generous vacation, and generally lower-stress or easier cases. It’s not necessarily gender-specific, despite the name. These groups are often selective in hiring because the work-life balance and compensation are well above average.

Think of it as the anesthesia version of “you’ve made it”—where the job feels more like a smooth idle game like Duck Duck Clicker: steady, rewarding, and low stress.

 

[Gern Blansten]

Once you graduate quordle, try the octordle sequence game. You have to solve eight and in sequence. So the remaining ones are hidden until you solve the one preceding it. The first few are tough, but once you get to the last 3-4, many of the letters are revealed so the number of guesses needed typically goes way down.

Octordle

Put your skills to the test and solve eight word games at once! You have 13 guesses to solve all eight words. A new Octordle available each day to solve.

www.britannica.com

Once you try quordle and octordle, regular wordle is really no fun any longer. There is also a site where you can have a puzzle built for as many letters across as you wish. I lost interest in that one after a month or so.

Dude, a gentleman's group has 80 percent hot blonde crnas, not 80 percent bro crnas.

lol that was back in the day… now that group is looking to vanish as the crnas take over with their independance
