Forgot to mention. I am also on offsite call for medical cover on Mondays for the no overhead clinic. I also do this cover when their specialist is away on holiday.
They pay me $11.50 per hour. 8hrs usually for the Monday. Usually is just text message from the nurse regarding patient blood pressure whether need to give Captopril or Clonidine to bring it down. Or order Ondasetron for nausea and vomiting. Or whether they can proceed with the procedure if baseline BP is high etc. Most times I don't get called or get any messages.

We don't do IVs. Med director also didn't want to stock Hydralazine (can be given IM). Labetalol is IV only. Only oral alternatives. 99% of the time the increase in BP is transient anyway.

my email is real haha (hopingtolearn). I think its good to have an open mind and always learn more in medicine, especially since its such a big field. not sure why others are salty / automatically debunk others, reflects more on themselves i think.

The best route will be to set up a hybrid clinic where you have a normal family medicine consultation service cum aesthetics. Of course you will not be able to give the full suite of aesthetic treatments but it’s also not necessary for a new aesthetic doc.
Focus on managing core base of chronic patients + hone up basic injection skills and that will pave the way for you to convert the clinic to a full aesthetics service down the road.
More than half of my patients who do laser didn’t come for laser specifically. They come for botox and fillers first, and get satisfied with the results. Then they accept lasers as a complement to their treatment.
Aesthetic patients are also quite knowledgeable and picky, so they understand the value of someone who did FM training vs someone who come in as a fresh GP or worse bond breaker with a few COCs.
For this reason, I am paying MMEDers a premium when they join. They are also handpicked for sponsored conferences workshops overseas. I suspect other clinics are also doing the same

Hi MMED here, are you still hiring?
