Healthcare Jobs I wouldn’t call the clinical space crowded, in fact we are chronically overworked and understaffed. But if physicians aren’t sitting at decision-making tables, we have no power to make desperately needed changes to protect our lives and labor.

I’ve found new ways to use my medical degree every year since 2017— none of which were taught or recommended by my residency. Locums Per Diem Qbank Author Expert Witness Medical Writer Tech Consultant Aesthetics Injector Social Security Adjudicator Veteran Disability Examiner

Doctors, don’t let the thought of trying something new paralyze you. You can do anything.

I’ve never gotten a raise I didn’t ask for.

Telling doctors they’re “not allowed” to negotiate their contracts and salaries has to be the biggest employment scam around.

I’ll be teaching everything I know in a 4 week summer lecture series for U.S. attending physicians. Per-diem, Locums, Expert Witness, Medical Writing, VA disability exams. PLUS How to resign without burning bridges & getting your own health insurance. doctordifferent.kartra.com/page/yGp55

S2 of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Netflix doc! These women tried to organize for contract negotiations & fair wages (>$15/hr) , but were gaslit, dismissed, intimidated, & ultimately stomped out by the all-powerful Cowboys organization. Any Doctor who has tried to organize can relate 😤
