FeministKilljoy Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I just finished watching a documentary on Netflix called The Mask You Live In. It's about gender and how we socialize boys and men and the idea of masculinity and how it lends itself to violence in our communities. Gender constructs are so fascinating and we studied it quite a bit in my Women's Studies Course. It's worth watching Also, I got an A+ on my research paper this week about barriers to abortion access for Canadian women. Reproductive Justice FTW y'all! Feel free to pm me if you have any questions! I'm very passionate about this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg_McMuffin Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Today was a bad day...got one of my course marks back. Looks like my GPA will take a dip this year (was hoping to apply Ottawa). Now I'm just sitting here thinking 'why did I even do this for the last 3 years' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGUG Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 This exam period has kicked my ass. Last 2 exams tomorrow and then can't wait get on with my life. Only a third year applicant but at this point another year feels like suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks_14 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I was looking at the "canadian speciality profiles" on the CMA website. I noticed it gives figures for overhead costs reported by surgeons and specialists. So my next question is does a surgeon or specialist who works at government hospitals have overhead costs? I always thought the government was on the hook for say a neurosurgeon who works at local government health authority hospitals. I noticed there was overhead for internal med as well. Could someone clear this up for me? Are there overhead figures only for private practice or do hospital surgeons and specialists pay the overhead for hospital procedures out of their pocket? Link https://www.cma.ca/En/Pages/specialty-profiles.aspx The overhead costs are under the renumeration section of the specific document. In the blue box.

Well, it depends on where their offices are located. Some surgeons have their offices in the hospitals, whereas other surgeons have their own private offices, but operate/do call at the hospital, so they would have to pay rent/their staff/office supplies.

canucks_14 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yes. I'm married to one. Ok thanks for the info! So basically no matter what setting a surgeon or specialist is in they still have to pay overhead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeministKilljoy Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Ok thanks for the info! So basically no matter what setting a surgeon or specialist is in they still have to pay overhead? Not necessarily.... The surgeons whose offices are based in hospital aren't required to pay any overhead. But they also received a salary, versus the surgeons who have their own offices are fee for service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many hospital-based physicians do pay for their own secretaries, however, so it's not as though all surgeons in hospitals pay zero overhead.

Yeah, one of the hospitalists I shadowed, paid for their own secretary...since they knew they would be more reliable and work harder than the unionized ones the hospital would provide. Go the extra mile and all that jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralk Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yah, those union people are so flakey and lazy.... *raised eyebrow* Heh, most I know didn't have a choice - they had to pay for their own secretary. Some might still be hospital employees, just funded through physician billings, though I never had the chance to ask all the details on that.

JohnGrisham Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yah, those union people are so flakey and lazy.... *raised eyebrow* I wouldn't say that is universally true - but true enough that at least a handful of docs i've met have opted to just fork out the money for the added benefits of a private secretary.
