I am experiencing an uptick of patients being frustrated that they are placed on observation status. I did not create this system, nor do I find it enjoyable to be hassled by the bean counters constantly.

Any pearls on how to handle these conversations when a patient is frustrated by their status?

As someone who does both inpatient and outpatient, these AI summaries do everything I tell my residents not to do. There is so much extraneous information that it takes forever to tease out what’s important at the clinic follow up.

Had to transition off of the SAVE plan and IBR application estimated my payment to be $50 a month. On Friday, I got a notification saying the application monthly estimate contained an error, so I resubmitted an application for IBR. Just got a bank notification saying $1800 was removed from my account. This was without any notice. How is this legal? What are the chances I get this back?

Live in an extremely rural area. 5 handicap (expected to go down as I just resumed Golf after 10 years). 105-108 swing speed. Currently have Titleist 910 10.5 with 65g RIP shaft. Ideal driver would be one that I could get used that is one to two years old. I can’t imagine how much the technology has changed since I bought the 910.

Since I have been at this hospital, they only have small packets of ultrasound gel that you must track down every time you want to do POCUS. I do a lot of POCUS with learners so I have been supplying bottles of ultrasound gel that keep disappearing. Turns out the nursing supervisor has been throwing them away in the name of infection prevention.

Is this a problem anyone else has struggled with? Has anyone heard of bottles of ultrasound gel being associated with nosocomial infections?! I would prefer to only use the sterile packets for procedures.
