So I'm starting my civilian job. The department has about 3 major secretaries who help with all the paperwork. The secretary walks into my office and informs me I have a several thousand dollar budget for licensing, professional dues, books, journal subscriptions and travel. She says she has to make all the purchases for me.

I about fell out of my chair!!!

That's too bad . . . .that you didn't completely fall out of your chair and smack your head. You're so immature . . . you must be in your early to mid 30s, still a virgin . . . . b/c if you weren't, and if you had any sense . . .then you'd be content with your civilian job, you'd concentrate on your patients' care, you'd read some of those journals you subscribe to, maybe even publish every now and then . . . but instead, you do none of this.

you spend time hacking away on this forum, gloating, and making those that are still in (or have decided to make a longer commitment) feel less of themselves . . waytago stud!

I'm confused by your post. Are you trying to bait me? I'm content with my job. I was struck because I've never worked in this type of environment. Navy medicine would never pay for my licensing fees, professional journals and it was very difficult to arrange for travel. We also never had any support staff. I do plan to write some journal articles that I couldn't get done on active duty and possibly write a book. Maybe you are correct about me gloating. I just left the military so give me some leeway🙂

Civilian medicine👍

It's definitely the front runner in my military vs civilian decision.

It would apper that way. He's either a troll or severely ******ed. Just add him to your ignore list.

BTW, congrats on starting your civilian job!

What will be more amazing is that as you progress in this job, despite the problems you will encounter, you will see that they are so incomparable to the crap you had to put up with as a military physician.

Besides the obvious ****** who responded to your post, do be surprised to see other idiots now somehow call you on patriotism, competency, etc because you have dared to say that medicine outside the military is incomprehensibly better.

Yeah, civilian medicine in the US has a million problems, mostly related to MONEY issues, but you will find that you can make a good living comparatively, and your lifestyle and work environment will be yours to control, and if it SUCKS, you MOVE.

Best of luck, and I'm still waiting on your story. Are you out of IRR??

I had one rotation as a resident a private non-academic hospital. It was amazing. After we rounded one morning, I asked my patient's nurse if she knew the number for PT so I could call in the consult. She said, "don't worry, I already took care of it". Next morning, the clinical pharmicist comes up to me and says, "I calculated the re-dose for the patien't gentamicin. Just sign here if that's OK." Good food, Good coffee. Professional staff.

Ahhh, It was intoxicating. I'm counting down the days until June 30, 2010.

I know that nurse bashing is very popular, but I will say that the ED nurses that I worked with at Lacklack and Wright-Patt were excellent teammates.

Nobody bashed nurses. They just said that we get treated better at civilian hospitals.

The opposite is true given my current civilian hospital.
