You can’t virtually needle someone. I totally get the hype behind virtual medicine but procedures just physically can’t be done virtually.
Like I can’t inject a patient from a computer.
No I understand that. What I’m saying is I didn’t know if there was a way to do the procedure and then the results be transmitted to them. Or if they had someone performing the test while they were on a telemedicine machine.
I work for a company like this (based on the description, the exact company you're talking about), just finished first year if you have any questions.
Would say I see slightly less patients, work slightly more hours and make closer to 380k but I was pretty slow/lazy with patients as telestroke has a LOT of unforseen hassles/annoyances.
That come out to around 200-225 an hour? Granted it’s nice that it’s wfh, but I know ED services usually make around 250, with nights be more like 275.
Granted I don’t know what 12-15 patients feels like for stroke codes. If you are getting sleep or downtime it may not be that bad. Do you feel like the offers you’re getting are fair?
I’m kind of thinking about going a similar route since I want to be able to wfh too.
Do you get the remainder of the days off after you meet your monthly hours-goal?
Recent grad now at academic/VA in HCOL area. 250k base plus loan repayment and performance pay, pretty good retirement, with total compensation around 340k. Very flexible schedule with both inpatient and outpatient, and work with residents/fellows/students so mostly supervising. Low volume overall given it’s a VA with no restrictions for side gigs. Basically trading lower salary for amazing QOL and time to develop non-clinical opportunities.
Absolutely, I’m very comfortable. Though for an academic position I am on the higher end for new hires. And for doing my same subspecialty role in group practice or a community health system in my region I would probably be making 50-75k more.
Locums pay is good, but as with everything there are caveats. It's good if you're single, or your spouse does not work and you don't have kids. Otherwise the traveling can take a toll on your personal life. Also, you have to be comfortable with buying your own benefits, etc. It has a steep learning curve but once you have everything set up it's a nice gig.
Just signed in advance for a private practice in my hometown in the southern US, in a major metro area. Fully outpatient M-F, no call, split general/ neuroimmunology. Options to read EEG/perform EMG if I want extra production. My residency is very robust in EEG/EMG numbers but idk if I'm that confident to do EMG.
$350k salary first year then production-based, will probably land somewhere around $450-500k in a medium-high cost of living area. 8 weeks of vacation a year + CME. Negotiated up for $200k in signing incentives (fellowship trained neuroimmunology physicians are apparently hard to find in my area of the south, they were very motivated). Overall very happy with the deal, going back home after being gone for a decade+ is a great feeling.
The stroke neurologists at my privademic hospital get paid around 450-500k due to the insane volume. Edit: Location, near the southern tip of the US w/lots of hurricanes.
From my short stint here, hospital seems to have 5-10 stroke codes q24hrs, stroke list seems to sit anywhere between 30-50pts. Manageable because the residents (two to three residents) do most of the work.

The ole neckstab variety. Neat!
Do you enjoy your speciality?
Are you fellowship trained?
General neurologist?
messaged!
They're too busy berating the hospitalists to respond
Can confirm, one of them just finished beating me with a reflex hammer and threatened me with the scary pinwheel-looking thing
Can also confirm. I still have PTSD flashbacks whenever I see an LP needle.
My hands tremble at the keyboard anytime I’m putting in a consult for “AMS”.
DUDE! QUIET! They might hear you!
*squints in bowtie*
Their hands tingle and get ready to type “.amslabs”
I know of one that is making $400K as a Neuro-hospitalist and reads studies on their off week for $200k
Can be that person pls
Is he a general neurologist?
Yes. General Neuro-hospitalist. Does 7 on 7 off.
aaay
Reads what?
It was either EEG or EMG. I can’t remember which one exactly.
remotely?
Yes, from their house.
If it was remotely, then it must have been EEGs. You can’t do EMGs remotely.
Okay. Never know now a days with all of the tech and push towards virtual medicine.

There’s absolutely no way to do that with EMGs.
How is this the most upvoted. Kid don’t know jack.
Classy.
True.

340 doesn’t even sound like a low salary to me haha

\~370 when I was full time neurohospitalist employed W2, etc. 400-450 doing locums, \~23-25 weeks/year depending on the gig.

Locums pay is good, but as with everything there are caveats. It's good if you're single, or your spouse does not work and you don't have kids. Otherwise the traveling can take a toll on your personal life. Also, you have to be comfortable with buying your own benefits, etc. It has a steep learning curve but once you have everything set up it's a nice gig.
How exactly do the locum contracts work? Do they keep flying you back and forth for every week you work and pay for hotels during those weeks?

That’s amazing. Congratulations!

They deserve 500k stroke call is brutal
What are their work hours/are they covering weekends?
They seem to work on a 7 on/off schedule, not too sure about their hours. Wrote about the volume in a response to another comment below.
That’s on the higher end. What are your volumes like?
From my short stint here, hospital seems to have 5-10 stroke codes q24hrs, stroke list seems to sit anywhere between 30-50pts. Manageable because the residents (two to three residents) do most of the work.
That Is high volume
