You don’t have to get snippy. I cannot help the fact that I am a much more highly trained supersubspecialist who has no life except to go back to school after seven years in private practive. At least when I am making a fellowship pay, you can just send the checks to me as i, too, will be in the middle class. Where do i sign up for my s*** from the federal government?
You have freep mail
(Its OK folks, we have known each other for years and the conversation is an inside joke.)
I’m an OMS who does right well working four days a week. Been pretty much spared federal intervention but I expect that to change in about three more months. My brother who is an internist just hung it up. He was making less than he did ten years ago all the while seeing more patients who were sicker. My plan for the new “soak it to the rich doctor plan” is to adjust my work schedule to limit my income so that I don’t end up paying over half the the feds. Maybe I can go to a two day a week schedule. The downside is I will see fewer patients who will end up in the ER for care and I will have to let a few employees go. But that is the goal of the American NHS pushers. If that fails I might just follow my brother’s example and spend more time fishing with him, he has a great boat. BTW, have I ever seen you on the other side of the blood-brain barrier?
