Check out this infographic courtesy of of the American Academy of Family Physicians!

Just because family doctors have the ability to diagnose and treat patients doesn’t mean that they aren’t also vulnerable to the threat of injury or illness. In this infographic you’ll learn how susceptible doctors are to the threat of disability and how to prepare yourself financially should the unexpected occur.

Sometimes it’s difficult to find job listings that state what the salary range is.  You might have to call first, send a resume first, or even interview first, before you start talking dollars.  One place that has been consistently transparent of their salary range each time I’ve looked is actually the USAJobs website.

But here are two listings found on CraigsList for an Emergency Physician and Family Physician to work at an Urgent Care office.  Monday to Friday, 9 to 6 sounds pretty nice.  Although the salary range seems strange for an ER doc compared to FM.  But, maybe Linden vs Springfield warrants that discrepancy.  Or maybe some other factor we’re not seeing here.

I am taking the week off of blogging so I hope you don’t mind. I am currently in Paris for a quick vacation, a break from work at the office and from my online ventures!

But I did do a quick search on Physician Salaries in France. From what I can tell, GPs here in France make about 80k to 140k USD. I couldn’t find many good sources so this is just very general!!

Have a good week and talk to you all soon.

A doctor is nothing without help.  We may want you to think we know it all and can do it all but really, we can’t.  How about a surgeon?  Can you imagine one operating without an OR tech to hand them tools in a sterile manner?  For me, pre-authorizations of pharmaceutical drugs or imaging studies are a nightmare and I’m very thankful I have a nurse who helps me with that.

My office is a well-oiled machine.  Each person has a function to assist with the flow of the patient into the office, through it, and out of it.  But, with staff comes the responsibility to provide fair compensation and benefits.  And thus, when this survey  came out by Physicians Practice, I thought it would be interesting to see how much our ancillary staff is making.

I’d like to add one thought though….there are some doctors work alone.  Solo practitioners are a rare breed in the medical world.  These are physicians who truly work on their own doing their own bills, phone calls, pre-auth’s and even cleaning their own offices.

Sorry this post is late in the day folks.  I had an extremely busy weekend and a very busy day today.  One of the things I did over the weekend was quite interesting and medically related so I will prepare that post and share it with you later on this week.  The rest of my weekend was about getting all of my administrative paperwork done.  With my office partner gone, I’m suddenly in charge of twice as many patients but still limited to the previous amount of time.  It’s been hard…on me, my staff, and all of our patients.  But, I do what I can and work extra here and there to stay caught up.  I’m looking forward to my new partner arriving in August!

Anyways, I’ll work on a post tonight and have it ready for you tomorrow.

Yesterday, a patient gave me this beautiful bonsai as a gift for “saving his life.” I can’t go into specifics in order to respect the patient’s privacy and comply with HIPAA. But according to him, he would have been dead in 6 months if I hadn’t pressed the issue. Suffice to say that I am deeply touched by this kind gesture. I was only doing my job. And thank you for reminding me why I became a doctor.

Medscape released an infographic based off of their most recent compensation survey.  It goes over most of the points I covered in my post on Monday.  But this is a little bit more visually appealing.  :)  Enjoy.

Medscape has finally released the results of their massive 2013 survey.  They’ve been doing this for the past 3 years and the results are always interesting.  The data comprises information from 21,878 physicians across 25 medical specialties regarding the 2012 fiscal year.  I cherry picked some key points I thought you might find interesting :

• The 3 top earning specialties this year are the same as last years : orthopedic surgery ($405,000), cardiology ($357,000), and radiology ($349,000).
• Endocrinology and Oncology were the only specialties who had a decrease in income.
• Roughly half of physicians feel fairly compensated and half don’t.
• Concierge and Cash Only practices are on the rise (albeit a slow one) but joining ACOs jumped up from 3% to 16%.
• 23% of doctors will drop insurers who pay poorly.
• 71% of doctors spend up to 14 hours per week on paperwork.  18% spend 15-24 hours.  9% spend more than 25 hours per week.  (wow)

I think the most powerful slide for me is this one because it speaks to career satisfaction.  It’s something I value greatly and think about often.

What do you think of the survey?
