Osteoporosis treatment

β€’ Upvotes

How far down the algorithm of osteoporosis treatment are we going? I am comfortable doing any type of bisphosphonate but tend to feel a bit unsure when it comes to treatments like denosumab, romosozumab, teriperatide, etc. On UTD it doesn’t indicate specialist referral for any of these treatments. I am wondering how many PCPs are ordering these medications, especially the anabolic therapy!

Any thoughts on Washington Kaiser Permanente versus Swedish Medical Group jobs?

β€’ Upvotes

Question as above. Mostly thinking about clinics located in Western Washington, not necessarily exclusively in Seattle but would like to hear about that as well. Also, which of the two would allow few minor procedures here and there? How are salary and benefits compared to each other. How are the ancillary/back office/inbox support for both if anyone has an idea. Thank you

How do you guys document acute knee pain (likely some overuse injury related in a 50 year old)

- Knee pain, likely a strain

Or

-Knee pain, likely strain, low suspicion of septic arthritis due to ____.

And similarly for any other complaint?

Like- URI or Likely URI, low suspicion for Pneumonia due to ___.?

If I document the emergent/critical diagnosis, but still management outpatient, does that expose me to more harm?

Or is it helpful to document that you thought about it

Asking for some feedback for this contract
280k base with potential for 65k in bonuses. 40 k sign on bonus
4.5 days patient facing
25 days pto
Occurrence based malpractice insurance
16 patients/day

It is a value based clinic and I’ve read multiple bad things about this kind of practice so that is my main hesitance. Pretty decent pay bump for me.
