Anthony Caruso received his white coat a few weeks ago. 🥼 We asked him if he could give any advice to the kid in the first photo, what would it be? He replied, "Trust your gut – and always make time for God, family, and friends. You won’t regret it." "My main purpose for pursuing a career in medicine stems from my family’s involvement in the field. I remember hearing about my grandfather’s impact on his community as a family physician when I was a kid. I was mesmerized by the small office and waiting room he created inside his row home, and the fact that he was able to manage his patients’ health, his billing, and finances as a sole practitioner. He had no staff and minimal technology, but he persevered through late hours and house calls, so his patients were properly cared for. Growing up, I saw similar tendencies in how my father practiced gastroenterology, most notably his hard work and discipline. On countless occasions, he sacrificed his sleep and personal life to provide a dire service to this great area of Lower Sussex. However, he still made time to attend all of his children’s school functions and sports tournaments, both locally and regionally. Both he and my grandfather embody the type of person I want to be – an advocate for my patients, and a vital member of the community I serve. I chose Bayhealth for several reasons, but mainly because of the positive experience I had during my two years of clinical rotations in the hospitals and surrounding clinics. My hope was to train where I would eventually practice, in the same area where I grew up. I’m proud to be born and raised in Sussex County, and I believe it’s imperative to give back to the community that formed who I am today." Help us congratulate Anthony on his residency in Bayhealth's Family Medicine program below!

$25/day. That is what the "investment" is for #familymedicine in #ontario. That is what a full-time comprehensive care #familydoctor can expect as "back pay" for 2023. And yes, it is a 7 day/wk job. Is it any wonder that physicians are closing their practices? How can clinics afford support staff, pay them competitive living wages, and pay for rent and supplies? How can anyone expect/endorse a new #familymedicine graduate to start a practice, invest their time, money, effort into it, with the debt loads they carry; start a life finally AND this is the valuation they can expect?. Absolutely we will all pay the price as patients in #ontario Disappointing but not surprising.
Multipotent Family Physician/Ethical Board Director/Empathetic Philanthropist
Thank you Ontario Medical Association CEO Kimberly Moran Board Chair Catherine Faulds NTF Chair Nikolina Mizdrak for helping the Ontario Ministry of Health appreciate that investments are desperately needed in a health care system struggling to keep the lights on. It is not easy. Your hard work and determination despite considerable odds should NOT be underappreciated. However, family doctors have been given a tiny toy shovel to dig all of us out of this decades long blizzard. We need more! Much more that a bagel and coffee to handle the 2.3Million orphans, the 19 hours of administrative work, the burnout, the early retirements, and the OMA past presidents telling medical students to "stay away" from family medicine.

Fellow physicians, what’s stopping us from taking enough time off- whatever that may be and realizing it’s different for each of us? Just the other day, I had a conversation with a GI doc who revealed he’s only taken 3 weeks off per year for the last 20 years. He’s thinking about, and really wants to take 12 weeks off this year. My take- do it! You only live once. Life is short and all of those cliches. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts #healthandwellness #lifeisshort #physicianwellness #physicianshelpingphysicians #physicianburnout

"🚀 Crafting EdTech Narratives: Where Content Meets Instructional Design Excellence 🎓" | Combat Veteran
🎉 Victory over the Medicine Monster! 🎉 Navigating the stormy seas of parenthood, my wife and I faced our fiercest challenge yet: convincing our four-year-old princess, Jade, to embrace her medicine. 🍼✨ With a mixologist’s flair, we experimented with every concoction under the sun, yet the victory remained elusive. Jade, with her discerning palate, led the scoreboard in this medicine melee. 🏆 Enter the game-changing wisdom of Meemaw( Is it spelled right? Who knows 😂): a splash of ginger ale. 🥤💡 Skeptical yet desperate, we mixed, presented, and… voila! Jade demolished her ginger-ale-disguised potion without a second thought. So, what’s the deeper lesson here? Sometimes, the most innovative solutions come from thinking outside the box—or in this case, the soda can. In the world of work, like in the battleground of pediatric medicine administration, the blend of creativity, persistence, and a dash of unexpected simplicity can turn the tide. Remember, whether you’re facing stubborn stakeholders or a four-year-old with a no-medicine policy, sometimes all it takes is a little ginger ale creativity to sweeten the deal. 🚀 #ParentingHacks #Innovation #CreativeSolutions #LifeLessonsFromParenthood”

Co-Founder ViTel Health *Champion for Independent Physician Practices and Equitable Care * Healthspan Optimization Physician with Rebel Health Alliance
"No one wants to become a physician anymore." Can we blame them? I am 40 years old and probably part of the last generations to have experienced an independently practicing primary care physician and pediatrician. I fondly remember trips to Dr. Dorrington's office, where he often ran late after a leisurely morning of golf but was always excited to be at work providing care. Or phone calls to my mom's internal medicine doctor who could prescribe medications for her regular bouts of sinusitis over the phone because he knew her history and propensity to have seasonal allergies progress to an infection. These doctors had one thing in common - control over how they spent their time - both in their practice and personal lives - and they were happy and, most of all, inspiring to a young girl who dreamed of practicing medicine. Fast forward to today. Young people choosing careers have witnessed years of managed care consolidation and doctors dissatisfied, abused, and burdened by an ever-increasing pile of administrative work and less time for patients and themselves. They don't show up to work happy, are rarely engaged, and are even frequently so harried that they give the air of being uncaring. There is no light at the end of the tunnel of residency. Being an attending requires even more work with less of the ability to delegate. This is why we must be an example and find happiness and independence. If we don't bring joy back to medicine for ourselves and our patients, then we cannot expect future generations to want to join us in our misery. I know it's not easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. Becoming a doctor took years of your life; let's make that worthwhile at ViTel Health.

What I learned on my rotation with Moose Pharmacy this month, was essentially how to think critically in a clinical setting when assessing a patient. It was difficult at first to stop thinking and working with a student-like mind frame. I have gained more knowledge to prepare me for the pharmacy work-life and how Pharmacists are the last stop for healthcare when it comes to patients. I have learned that using proper clinical thinking can allow for interventions that could be vital to a patient's overall health. Pharmacists can be advocates for patients in staying up to date with their preventative health such as shots and regular wellness visits. Pharmacists can be the mid-point between other health professionals and the patient's health goals. I learned on my rotation with Moose how important this role is for pharmacists and how we apply our clinical knowledge can be life changing for all involved. I also gained more confidence in using my clinical knowledge and how to properly search for information that I am not knowledgeable about it. Working with Moose pharmacy has made me excited to take on this role for patients!
