Not hold a phone....

[VentAlarm]

But why???...

[VentAlarm]

Another vote for cell phone. Plus it can keep your pace.

Are you male or female? If male, do you wear lined running shorts? I mostly...

[VentAlarm]

I think small cap value likely will have outsized returns over the next 40 years, but I’m not willing to bet 10% of my portfolio on my ability to stay...

[VentAlarm]

hipaa...

[VentAlarm]

You been on a nice vacation recently?

[VentAlarm]

No thank you x 2 followed by “I said no.”

[VentAlarm]

Is that because you donate your appreciated shares?...

[VentAlarm]

If you argue with a fool, it’s difficult to determine who is who.

I think it probably says a lot about your specialty that this hasn’t...

[VentAlarm]

I’ve been clearly “secretly” recorded as you describe. It bothers me greatly. Not because I’m afraid I will say or do something improper, but...

“You have 6 months to find a new doctor; on an unrelated note, my schedule is full the next 6 months.”

[VentAlarm]

I did my first TLH this week. The more I’m learning, the more I’m leaning towards a more globally diversified portfolio, so I swapped out about 25k...

[VentAlarm]

It seems like you have earned the right to make financially nonoptimal decisions. Moving up in interest rate may sting a little (probably more psychologically...

[VentAlarm]

She said it better....

[VentAlarm]

May be overvalued, but my timeline is >10y and I don’t know of another asset class that will get me where I want to go. I’m not investing in BTC...

[VentAlarm]

The problem is that you may hate your job....

[VentAlarm]

I mean, if there is a bro specialty…....

[VentAlarm]

Where do you hide $100 from an orthopod? His stethoscope....

[VentAlarm]

You lost me...

[VentAlarm]

You make a ton of money with minimal debt. You can 100% make this work.

You need to stop screwing around with crypto and put 200-300k...

[VentAlarm]

Very nice. I have a bottle of Blantons in my cabinet I’m waiting for a special occasion for. My FIL always drinks it, so I get to drink it quite often....

[VentAlarm]

Have you ever been to Napa?...

[VentAlarm]

Uhhh……I’m going to stop you right there. I know you’ve been here too long to be a troll, but what you’re saying is simply absurd. I don’t...

[VentAlarm]

Does the moderator need a moderator? Lol...

[VentAlarm]

We are literally sitting in a B&B in Napa currently, so I’m going to say a California cab....

[VentAlarm]

It’s astounding that everyone doesn’t follow the above rules with their children....

[VentAlarm]

I’ve had maybe 4 mortgages, current one with KeyBank. They were all somewhat painful but KeyBank wasn’t memorably more painful than the others....

[VentAlarm]

I mingle enough with the proles at work, I’ll take the luxurious travel....

[VentAlarm]

Not very sophisticated, but not a bad place to start:

[VentAlarm]

there’s truly awful medicine being practiced in lots of tiny hospitals....

[VentAlarm]

Really?...

[VentAlarm]

I worked with a CT surgeon in fellowship who had previously been was one of his trainees. Easily my least favorite person in the entire institution....

[VentAlarm]

I don’t think there’s a number. If you have a 2% withdrawal rate and want to spend 30%, that’s probably fine. If you need 6%, any amount is too...

[VentAlarm]

I have enough things to worry about, so I rarely get in arguments. That’s not to say I don’t let people know what I think. I’m pretty comfortable...

[VentAlarm]

I bought my wife and myself nice new luggage yesterday. I posted on here a year ago asking about nice luggage and kind of hemmed and hawed because we...

[VentAlarm]

I mean, sounds like you bought a house you’re excited about for a price that you felt was fair and you can comfortably afford. Sounds good to me....

[VentAlarm]

About to go to on a big California trip for our 10th anniversary. Flying first class. Eating at the French Laundry. Great wineries. Going to a game...

[VentAlarm]

Nice. My FIL just got a ram 2500 fully loaded. The new trucks with all the bells and whistles are NICE.

Out of curiosity, why’d you...

[VentAlarm]

If it is, I feel like FLP and EMD have a case against most of us…...

[VentAlarm]

Is it a shame? If she wasn’t knocked for this, it would have been something else. She was essentially outted as an ideologue, not a healer. Someone...

[VentAlarm]

Eh, not really - especially when you factor in kids. That’s 100k spending per year not counting rent, tax and saving. That’s probably what most...

[VentAlarm]

You’re going to be tight. What about new cars, college savings, vacations, etc? Do you have a budget for giving?

[VentAlarm]

They’re probably going to get nap time and snacks out of it. Also, they’ll be paying part of their salary to the union....

[VentAlarm]

I’d give up medicine tomorrow to be a plumber if it paid more. I’m on my last nights of a >80h work week this week, which might have something...

[VentAlarm]

Eh, not really. Some orthopods have nonop sports med docs who are EM or FP who did a 1y fellowship....

[VentAlarm]

High end Weber. Mods, close the thread....

[VentAlarm]

It seems like they are double dipping because they are. Welcome to Big Medicine....

[VentAlarm]

Neither my wife not I took our shoes off at home as children, but we now do. It started when we lived in the Midwest because of the snow then stuck when...

[VentAlarm]

I think one thing never discussed on the topic (partly because it would be nearly impossible to quantify and partly because it’s not PC), is what the...

[VentAlarm]

Yea. I used to catalog what I donated, then I was like “you know what, if the IRS wants to call me on a couple hundred bucks that I have a receipt for,...

[VentAlarm]

I’ve got a NW < $1M but fly first class/business class sometimes. Depends on the cost difference. We don’t fly much and rarely abroad. We also...

[VentAlarm]

It’s not that I don’t want to improve medicine (although I agree the system is profoundly broken), I do. It’s just that I’m not going to stick...

[VentAlarm]

Nope.

The hospital won’t love you back and those that went before me pilfered they system for nearly all it’s worth. I didn’t break...

[VentAlarm]

Seems reasonable. Just make sure that he or she is competent. I wouldn’t want someone to have to fix that if it’s not level. Ask me how I know....

[VentAlarm]

Dude. You got time. Relax. Congrats on matching....

[VentAlarm]

That actually entirely normal. I think that’s an ACGME requirement in many/most specialties that a research project be performed.

Several...

[VentAlarm]

That’s during training. No one cares what you did in med school unless maybe you got a PhD....

[VentAlarm]

DFA?

[VentAlarm]

Dude, my friends that supported Bernie aren’t that far down the rabbit hole. I’m done....

We see the light reflect off his Rolex....

[VentAlarm]

FLP is back!?!!??!!?!?!?...

[VentAlarm]

It’s pretty clear that ARs political bias is nearly blinding - just let him be....

[VentAlarm]

Outstanding....

[VentAlarm]

Man, I hadn’t had McDonalds in about 10 years until I was on a road trip recently and had to feed the kids breakfast. It hit the spot....

[VentAlarm]

This was my first reaction as well. Unless you own thousands of them, it seems like you’d be better served at your day job....

[VentAlarm]

Particularly timely to the conversation: the NYT just called for a Twitter “reset” for its journalists in an attempt to have some separation from...

[VentAlarm]

Dude. You’re really coming across as having an ax to grind. It’s pretty clear at this point that a lot of stuff that was previously called “misinformation”...

[VentAlarm]

I think your last comment is disingenuous. Saying that someone being pro-mandate is simply anti-spreading virus is obviously very different.
...

[VentAlarm]

I’m not a musk acolyte by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know that he has Asperger’s. This is the closest thing I have to any social media...

[VentAlarm]

You’re a better man (or woman) than I. I’d of said “nope, not licensed in that state. Can’t practice medicine without a license.” Click....

[VentAlarm]

That’s enough for me to pass....

[VentAlarm]

Are you licensed to practice in that state?

[VentAlarm]

Congrats on the healthy baby....

[VentAlarm]

Let’s try to avoid the left/right debate lest our esteemed moderators shut the thread down prematurely.

I think both sides now engage...

[VentAlarm]

Yea. I read a couple articles about this saying it had to do with the Babylon bee thing.

When calling for murder is acceptable, but a...

[VentAlarm]

Nice....

[VentAlarm]

I assumed this post was about fat little pig....

[VentAlarm]

If probably leave it alone…

[VentAlarm]

That sort of flippant response is kind of a nonstarter. Some people are just jerks - I try to avoid them as much as possible....

[VentAlarm]

I don’t know what enough is, but I know I pay more than my fair share....

[VentAlarm]

That’s really not necessary. I assure you, those of us with religious beliefs that we teach our children respect them....

[VentAlarm]

You need to answer what before you can answer how. What is the money for? The purpose drives the strategy....

[VentAlarm]

Live where you want to live and pay your taxes. An 800k long distance first rental sounds awful.

Don’t let the tail wag the dog....

[VentAlarm]

I’d passive aggressively call out the admin. Not replying is unprofessional....

[VentAlarm]

Yes. Administrators are better at looking you in the face and lying about why it isn’t accurate....

[VentAlarm]

A HCOL area can change. Think about Detroit when it was a great place to live....

[VentAlarm]

Sounds right

[VentAlarm]

Seconded....

[VentAlarm]

Sounds like IM is a good choice for you. I wouldn’t bank on doing in and outpatient unless you’re willing to work somewhere fairly rural.
...

[VentAlarm]

Hey now, you know there’s no place for admitting your wrong on the internet....

[VentAlarm]

You already gave up your 20s getting here…....

[VentAlarm]

I wouldn’t use a recruiter. In some industries, it’s reasonable - but medicine isn’t one of those....

[VentAlarm]

But. But. Team player. Synergy. Inclusion!!!!!...

[VentAlarm]

So, taking FP vs IM out of the conversation, I think there will always be a role for a good PCP. I know enough to value a quality PCP. Does the average...

[VentAlarm]

Clearly not you. Many people are charitably inclined. I would also posit that most people want to be or think of themselves as people who are charitable...

[VentAlarm]

Where’s the dislike button? Put your kid through college, or install new windows?...

[VentAlarm]

True. You’ll need a pest service. Maybe a termite bond depending on part of the country. Even if you minimally maintain your lawn, that’s a couple...

[VentAlarm]

Tough to say. All if takes is changing the windows and your in it for 50k+...

[VentAlarm]

They certainly are different. Residencies are, by definition, a part of academia which prides itself on being woke. It’s easier to navigate to most...

[VentAlarm]

Ha. Yea, it’s amazing how many of my co-faculty members seem to have obligations or meetings occupying the morning when residents have conference....
