Anyone have experience working for Pegasus. They staff an ED somewhere is be interested and was wondering about their group structure; ie democratic, ffs, ic, salary etc. thanks a lot

A Google search revealed www.pegasus.md as their website. There is some information there, but no mention of FFS. It appears to be a democratic group. There is a link to a recruiter under their careers section.

What is the deal with Pegasus, Athena, Apollo? I wonder if there are more Greek gods or mythological figures in the offing? Poseidon? Nyx? Cyclops? Hades? Prometheus? Pan?

I don't know why, but your post reminds me of that movie sunshine where they fly a spaceship to the sun to detonate a nuke into it. They named the damned spaceship the Icarus. Who the hell names a spaceship flying to the sun and back the icarus?

Poseidon is a template documentation system.

Well, maybe if it only flew to the sun? Recall that Icarus wore the wings held on by wax, and, when HE flew too close to the sun, the wax melted, and his wings fell off, and he fell to the ground. So, maybe it is poetic license.

I thought the ship wasn't intended to return home. But really, nuking the sun gets it burning up yellow and friendly again?

On its face, that thesis for a film fails. The sun is a huge fusion reaction. How many Earths can fit into it? Was it 864K? Let me look that up...

I was a little low - about a million Earths would fit into the sun. So, how much nuclear material could we send into the sun to make it do something? A negligible amount - even if we sent the whole planet. However, in comparison, you can smell skunk scent at 13 parts per million. Still...just not enough on this planet to do anything. (Then again, I did not see the film.)

I looked at one of their departments because it was in an area I wanted to go to. Nice enough, great compensation, but the position was understaffed (to the point of being risky, I thought) for the visit volume, acuity, and responsibilities. If that is a consistent pattern in the contracts they hold, you know how they get the great compensation.

I have heard that they are losing a contract out here due to poor organization, staffing, etc. Just the word on the street....

It's easy to say you can provide the docs for a contract, but unless you're TeamHealth or EmCare if enough of the existing docs quit then you're going to be short staffed. The first thing you try and do is increase the number of shifts each doc is working. If that doesn't work then you remove a shift (usually the swing) and make the existing shifts longer. Even in ED there are only so many locums docs, and the supply of really good ones is even rarer. As a general rule of thumb, if it's an advertised position in the community there are probably significant challenges associated with it.

Yep, but this was a question of total physician hours for a given visit volume. Other positions that seemed to cover a given visit volume with two physicians had one physician and 12 hours of PA covering it for them without a significant difference in acuity (or in some cases, maybe a little more).
