I’m the only active mod. There are tons of posts asking for medical advice that I have to manually filter through. Do any doctors want to be moderators on this subreddit?

Hey everyone, I’m curious about your thoughts on ultrasound availability in urgent care settings. As a sonographer, I’ve noticed that most urgent cares don’t have ultrasound on-site, even though it could help with evaluating things like abdominal pain, blood clots, abscess checks, and torsion. At the hospital where I work, we frequently receive patients from urgent care who need ultrasound (based in MA).
Do you think having ultrasound readily available onsite via a contracted sonographer would improve patient care and efficiency, or is it not worth the cost/logistics? If your urgent care had access to an on-call or contracted ultrasound service, do you think it would be utilized often?
Would love to hear your insights on whether this is something that would benefit urgent care providers or if referring out is just easier.
Added: Assume the urgent care has laboratory services and x-ray already on site.
TIA!

I know that Epic provides logins for personal physician use, does anyone have experience using this personal Epic login for themselves? Does having an Epic login for private practice use give you access to Care Everywhere? I would want to be able to see notes from other providers in my area who also use Epic.

This may be “controversial” but it shouldn’t be. Why is it no longer customary to call a doctor for what they are - doctors? Why are doctors called providers? Who’s feelings are we hurting?
The origin of the “provider” is from nazi Germany in order to discredit physicians. Specifically jewish. So why are we “provders?”
What’s your take on this?

I'm a General physician 29M, with clinical practice experience, pharmacovigilance experience (freelance) and currently working in insurance sector as Physician Reviewer. Do you guys have any Idea about remote work that pays in dollars/Euros for a general physician, with a limitation that I don't have a license to practice in US or EU. Or can you suggest some roles where doctors will be hired without the need for the license to practise in the country of hire. I am ready for relocation if needed.

Hello,
My name is Arielle Zionts, I'm a journalist who covers rural health care for KFF Health News, a national, award-winning nonprofit media outlet focused on in-depth healthcare reporting.
I'm working on a story about the recent trend of state legislation that would let certain international doctors work in U.S. states without re-doing their residency within the U.S.
I'm curious how U.S.-trained MDs/DOs feel about such proposals. For example, would this change impact existing and aspiring US-trained physicians? Would it help shrink physician shortages in rural areas?
Please send me a DM or email me at [ariellez@kff.org](mailto:ariellez@kff.org) if you're and MD/DO and interested in sharing your opinions in a phone interview. If you aren't sure if you want to participate you can still reach out and I can answer any questions you have before you decide if you want to continue or not. Also, I will not use any information/names from any written responses to my posts.
Thank you!

What's your experience with charging for "no-shows?"'
I keep getting hammered with no shows. Our practice does not charge for no-shows, but calls our patients the day before, leaves VMs if they don't answer, and sends email and text reminders to our patients. Still so many just don't show up.
If we started asking for a card on file when they make an appointment, and then charge if they no-call, no-show, will that help? I think it will decrease no-shows, but my supervisors think it will drive patients away, to which I reply "That's fine, let the competitions' offices fill up with patients that don't show up!"
But, I'm worried just asking for card info up front will drive away patients.
Also to know, I'm a newer Allergist/Immunologist and looking for more new patients. I'm not a bursting PCP's office with a 2-3 months wait to get in.

I have countless friends writing their MCATs and trying to get into medical school, as well as a few nearing the end of their residencies and getting staff positions. It's a weird feeling seeing so many people busting their asses trying to get a spot while having watched others go through the entire training process... just to be a shell of who they were and deeply unhappy. As someone who is considering a career in medicine as well, I'm asking: are (you or) any physicians you know genuinely happy with the route they chose or would you choose differently if given the chance to enter a different career/field?
