Anyone still check SDN? Bueller?

Where does everyone check their Pathology related news nowadays? The job market got better and SDN became a ghost-town lol.

Webb, mikeshree you guys still here?

LADoc are you back yet?????

Anyone home?????
 
Three months without any posts. May be time to call it. But I still check every few days, hoping for signs of life.
 
This is what happens when douchebag insecure moderators ban anyone who has a personality and provokes interesting conversations. The moderators are all progressive jerkoffs.
 
Is everyone too busy making $$ these days?
My work volume is up, but $ is also up. Still can't catch up with inflation though. 500K income today is worse off than 250K income when I started residency.

Good thing that we got enough work to go around. Enjoy it while it lasts. Save up and invest.
 
Hopefully demand trumps supply
Aging population, so hopefully volume at least stays steady or even increases. As long as tech doesn't disrupt things too much too quickly and we are expected to be "more efficient", meaning fewer of us are needed with more work per path, we should be ok.
 
That will take forever.
Really hope so. I don't like the way some jerk CEOs are talking about rads right now. And PathAI is starting to make more partnerships with places to use AISight dx. I need a good 8-10 more years lol.

It’s just a matter of time. You are right PathAI has gotten into academic and corporate partnerships. The product will only just get better and better.

Our leadership is terrible.

Hopefully it doesn’t replace us and just assist us at performing our jobs faster but that would mean less need for more pathologists depending on how good it gets.

It would be a win for academia and corporations that look to decrease costs by hiring less pathologists while getting more cases signed out aka REVENUE and PROFIT.

A pathologist that would be able to crank out 30-40 GI cases a day could theoretically, with the help of AI, crank out 80 plus cases a day, for example.

Yeah, agree entirely with everything. Just sucks wondering when/if the hammer will fall. Across many specialties the trend is to churn more per doc to earn more for admin and private equity. F’n sucks.

Reimbursement will keep going down as well, so at some point they'll need fewer pathologists who will be signing out way more cases with much more complex reports for the same or lower compensation. It's a one way road.
