They used to say academics was less production/pay and PP was high stress/high comp. The gap has narrowed because the academy is demanding much more, lots of rads are just nonacademic employees of the university behemoth, and the labor shortage means they need to pay to compete.

My latest paper is now on Science Direct: “Clinical results of ultrasound-guided intra-arterial embolization targeting abnormal neovessels for plantar fasciitis: 66 cases with up to 4 years of follow-up” You can check it out via the link in the comments.

A physician I know performed a complex surgery at a hospital. Health System billed: $78,000 Health System Paid: $40,000 Physician Reimbursement: $1,100 Health Systems take the lion’s share. Physicians take the hit. No physician wants to be employed. #healthcare

Our new paper is now published. The study provides valuable insights into the safety and efficacy of three short-dissolution embolic materials for transcatheter arterial microembolization or MSK embolization in patients with degenerative, inflammatory, and overuse joint disorders

Thoughtful indeed 😔 We’re reached a point where device reps make more per case than interventional radiologists. Physicians are having a tough time taking care of patients independently and are being pushed to render routine outpatient care for common ambulatory conditions

Dr. Gripesalot Venkat Seshadri MD FAAOS Dutch Rojas Adam Bruggeman, MD We’ll keep fighting guys and I for one am not giving up. The physician community has an amazing opportunity in Congress this year and we have to keep up the pressure to get them to correct the -2.83% cut & add something to adjust for inflation. There are other critical elements

This is a significant knowledge gap issue. There IS an outstanding treatment option for #adenomyosis. It’s called Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE). It has a high success rate and even in those not interested in fertility is preferable over #hysterectomy. #UAE #UFE
