responseby Resident Ethics and doctor (no login)The answer is simple. Absolutely not. As a resident you are there to learn. Yes you are assisting while learning but the insurer should not be paying you and that should not be even an issue. Medicare pays the hospital for costs associated with your training and if you bill Medicare that would be fraud. You are complaining about 30-40,000/year as a salary? Your arrogance is amazing! You say you can't live on that salary. Tell all of the teachers, police, and middle income families that. I remember when some residencies permitted this back in the 80s. What a fiasco. Residents were chosing cases that paid assistance fees rather than the best case for education. I remember one example where the resident chose insured hammer toes and neuromas over a medicaid triple. Focus on your education, wait a while before greed sets in. BTW your resident malpractice will not cover you for independent work and your state board may take issue with you. You are either a student or a practicing DPM not both. This person is part of the problemn in PODIATRY! Arrogance? Read your message! You Define Arrogance! This mantalitity of remembering the 80's does nothing for the profession. People like you need to retire! You are the type of Podiatrist that gets up on his mighty horse and takes advantage of everyone around you and then calls himself the MORAL one! You need a reality check! from IP address 63.172.78.183 Goto Forum Home |
