DBag and Co gotta make sure they can afford another stadium tower names after them. Next one will be "in honor of the blood and tears of EM docs tower". Dbag will continue to enjoy unbridled access to a bunch of college boys. Helps deal with his napoleon complex.5530 ER providers lost yet USACS is still offering me postcards with rates starting in the high 90s?
…and people will take that job because it suits their lifestyle and then come on to SDN and post about how the industry has gone to hell due to administrators, mid-levels, lawyers, and even their patients.
And if usacs went belly up.
I've seen a few for back pain. I'd rather have more chiropractors than opioid pill mills
Well yeah, but that's like saying you'd rather have more herpes than AIDS. I'd be thrilled with less of both in the world.
They may also contribute to more lawsuits against you, as was the case in Georgia where a chiropractor caused a stroke, guy ends up in the ER and admitted, sued the EP neurologist and everyone under the sun. Don’t want that sort of job security. I know you’re being sarcastic, and I digress.
I don't think it's not taught because money talk is taboo in academics. It's because academicians (myself included) don't have the expertise to teach about this stuff. Good programs will recognize this deficit and bring someone in to teach about it (like the president of the nearest SDG, perhaps).
How many have you realistically seen?
They should bring the scumbag lawyers writing these employment contracts and creating business for themselves in the process
We probably get 1-2 per year in our neuro ICU but we are a CSC for a large catchment population. Most EPs will see a couple in their career. I saw 1 in residency after chiro manipulation and then went 15 years without seeing another.
Those are two different cases. There was the chiro vert dissection case that was all over the place (ER doc ordered the CTA neck immediately with reason listed as "pain/dissection"): https://belllawatlanta.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/17-08-29-Buckelew-COMP-FSC.pdf
An attending from our (rather busy because of referral patterns) stroke service estimates seeing it about once a month. Not sure how accurate his estimation is however.
Yeah I was referring to the former case, CTA was in fact ordered.
I’ve not read that case but I can surmise from prior experience that the issues probably involved a delay in diagnosis supposedly leading to catastrophic damages. The problem that I personally have with these posterior stroke cases is the neurology expert vastly overstating the treatment effect had the stroke been detected in a timely matter. That is to say, no therapy is likely to keep you from blinking for food for the rest of your life once you’ve had a basilar artery stroke. Thus, I’ve only been invited to testify in 1 missed posterior TIA/stroke case probably because I said that with a greater than 50% probability, the delay did not significantly change the outcome…thus undermining the proximate cause of damages.
That's really rather shocking. You'd think there would be a ban on chiro neck manipulations if true
I have offered to do a financial literacy lecture for our incoming residents - so many just have no clue how basic retirement accounts work - and I was told that wasn't our role. I mean one of our staff has worked here for 6 years and just now realized they weren't getting the full match into a 403b - simple **** that smart people just don't know.
Well, if your program is consistent then they must not have docs teaching about wellness, because that's just as much outside their purview as is saving for retirement.
