W2 job + 1099 locum
I am a hospital employed pain doc. Have been thinking about doing locum anesthesia a couple of times a month given this hot anes job market.
I am not very educated in finance and will be very appreciated if you guys could answer some questions.
Will the 1099 job open the opportunity to contribute a whole IRA contribution (not sure how much) each year? I max out 403b and 457 from my W2 job plus a backdoor IRA.
What about writing off some expenses with this 1099 income? I’ve heard there...

Oral airways in pacu
What’s your guys policy with oral airways in pacu ? The pacu nurses are complaining that patients are coming out too sleepy with oral airway in place and it’s a safety issue. Surprised because this was never an issue at other hospitals I practiced at. We cover many hospitals but this was in issue at a fast turnover private practice ambulatory surgical center… (Source: Student Doctor Network)

State of Locums market
I am hearing that the number of Locum opportunities are decreasing from different Locum companies. I know a handful of my friends who are all doing full time locums work including call. The AMCs that are running the hospital are not able to fully staff anesthesiologist groups because every 3 nights call, poor pay, flat reimbursement and not based on productivity. The result is that full timers are not doing any cases till 3-5 Pm and make the locums do all the day time cases. Full timers...

Scalp IV for adults?
Hey gang,
I'm festering away in another knee, and this lady's forehead veins are calling my name. It's got me thinking -
In a jam (tucked arms, difficult IV access, etc.), have you ever utilized a scalp IV in an adult? I've done the shoulder or breast before, but never had the gall to stick a needle in the noggin.
Have you? Would you? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

24 hour “shifts” crna vs MD
Seems the trend for anesthesia is 24 hours shifts especially crnas
This is a problem. A big problem These crnas literally work 7 “shifts” on average a month
The math is simple 7x24 equals 168 hours
160 hours divided by 4 weeks equals 40 hours a week.
Now some docs i know are getting into the train gravy train. Working 2 days a week for 450k.
This frees up a world of opportunities to either travel or make even more money on side gigs.
The 24 hours crnas are artificially creating a...

Prosth, Perio, OMFS, or GP?
I’m a D4 student, and I’m interested in prosth, perio, and oral surgery. I’m interested in doing things like extraction, full mouth rehabilitation, all-on-4, implants, anesthesia, and sinus lift. I can’t decide which specialty I like the most because we can’t do these advanced procedures at dental school, so I’m planning to do a GPR first to get more experience in doing more complex cases, so that I can decide what I want to do.
Prosth: I think I may be a little more interested in prosth...
