Career Pros Details

1. The other doctor/s in my practice are great. I respect them both personally and professionally.
2. My days are relatively stress free. I rarely take any sort of weekend call/work and I am home most days around 5:30pm. I have no issues getting time off thus far. This leaves ample time for family and friends.
3. I am serving a community I grew up in. It is rewarding.

Career Cons Details

1. The pay. Someone else is making a lot of money off of my hard work. It is not me. With my salary and the area I live in the house hunting process I underwent in the past year was absolutely miserable. I was almost embarrassed to turn in my salary to my lender while getting a physician loan. Having to lower my expectations when I am already not particularly materialistic was disappointing.
2. this is sort of a personal preference thing but I was trained at a large hospital where I was making a difference in peoples lives daily. I was helping to fix them on their worst days. Now, I am listening to complaints of fungal nails and mild heel pain. We have an ok mix of patients at this clinic and I know thats just part of Podiatry but I do wish I had more of the bigger issues sometimes.
3. My autonomy comes with caveats. I have to funnel things through the surgery center where I am highly discouraged from doing anything over a certain price with fixation etc. I can only use the in office products the owner deems acceptable/has deals on/etc.
4. We have no standing at the hospital system. The employed Pods at the hospital are wound care only and so by default they think we are too.
5. It could not be more of a pain in the butt to operate at our surgery center with how many corners are cut. Being in a small PP, this is how most things are.
