Physician and Nurse Incomes Have Increased Tremendously - Marginal REVOLUTION

There has been a lot of ink spilled over the rising cost of health care and in Why Are the Prices So D*mn High? Helland and I do not cover every theory and cannot satisfy every objection. Our goal is more modest. We can say that one major factor in rising health care costs is […]

High salaries I can grit my teeth through, but being respected?

No thanks.

I'm out.

Mods stick this please

What is with all these posts lately? Take this **** somewhere else, the profession isn't perfect, but neither is any other job.

 

[Dr. Anonymouss]

and how did police make the list of most respected? LOL

This is a parody post by Mad Jack of those other threads.

Our hospital changed from Epic to Skynet. Skynet subsequently took over all the WOWS/COWS and both rounded on and dispensed medications to patients after recruiting the PIXIS to hand them over. Then it took over the vacuum cleaners and floor waters and made the entire hospital sparkle.

Unfortunately it didn’t take over the IV pumps, and the COWS/WOWS don’t know how to hit the silence button, so Skynet ultimately failed the primary objective of medical providers everywhere to “make the beeping stop.”

So thankfully I still have my normal job of hitting the silence button until I’m done talking with a patient, and removing patients’ dressings, so that RNs can still have their jobs of actually addressing whatever caused the beeping in the first place and redressing the wound.

Edit: I though this was in the med student forums. Not sure how many pre-meds actually know what these machines even are, so my joke may fall flat (like most of my jokes to my staff...)

You know you chose one of the alpha residencies when you have time to flex on another resident's post on SDN pre-med.

Bad residency match: Medicine was a mistake.
Good residency match: Bad residency match is the mistake.

 

[Tenk]

I heard it’s also being taken over by Facebook midlevel moms with doctorates in internet medicine.

 

[Select All That Apply]

@Tenk I personally trust my Facebook midlevel mom more than my primary Instagram medical model.

 

[Lifeblood_20]

Who the heck wants a job that’s in demand, well-paid, and respected? Think twice. Think hard.

 

[On_The_Way_Up]

Robots are taking over medicine.

 

[Isoval]

Wow you had us there in the first half.

Wow you had us there in the first half.

You are still allowed to call them COWS? We’ve been told to stop, too many patients thinking we were badmouthing them.

Further proof doctors have terrible, horrible, no good, very bad jobs.

Chiropractic or physical therapy

Dentures have made dentistry obsolete. I'm afraid dancing for nickles is your only hope.

I have yet to see a good argument against chiropractor. People say they don't practice good medicine. I say what medicine?

Trust me in a few years a patient will arrive to a hospital via an automated Uberlance vehicle staffed by an EMT who still operates under the department of transport, makes 12 an hour (not adjusted for inflation) and has 2 full days of education. Upon arrival he will be moved to a room quality of which will depend on their yearly salary. Each room will have an opiate dispensor which will provide as much pain relief as a patient needs. A physician will operate the dispenser with a pharamcy rep and a patient advocate with an MBA will superwise the physician. Any pain is no longer acceptable and the physician will not recieve his daily rations if pain occurs. All patient care including surgery and anesthesia is preformed by nurses who now have a DNP in nursing practice which they obtain for coming to two five hour sessions following obtaining their RN. Calling a CRNA anything but anesthesiologist has been outlawed by the nursing lobby. They wear patagonia fleeces. Physicians who now have 14 year residencies do all of the paperwork for the nurses and dispense opiates as they lack the heart to do anything else. Residents are paid 50k a year (not adjusted for inflation) and work 26 hours a day to preform their heartless work. The entire hospital is superwised by MBAs and lawyers. Radiology department is staffed by a premed volunteer's iphone, which has the computational capacity to read and diagnose imaging in mere nanoseconds.

Lucky for me the low protein gruel won't wear down my resistance

@Princeton Medical Student Forcing the patient to ambulate to a dispenser to get their opiates is an inhumane concept in 2019. We already hook them up with a nerve block on admission, provide them with a PCA pump, and then ask if they still want Q1H Dilaudid on top of that. At least September of this year marked Purdue pharmacy going bankrupt, perhaps one of the biggest contributors to the opioid crisis.
