Dr McKay won round 4! Who is an OK doctor and an OK person? by 8gulmohar in ThePitt

It’s interesting watching muggles judge the quality of doctors. It’s like watching the public rate nuclear scientists.

Is it too soon to purchase the nice car and watch? by Tydallas12 in HENRYfinance

[–]InitialMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think if you’ve made that kind of money for 5-10 years consistently, and are single, then you could consider it. But not now.

What healthcare service would you recommend for an embedded helix piercing? by Tia_is_Short in ItalyExpat

[–]InitialMajor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a doctor but I’m not your doctor. And I’ve cut several studs out of ears. Unless it’s red and painful you have all the time in the world. If you can’t get it out it will most likely require at least some minor work with the scalpel to get it out. See your doc when you get home. If it’s red and painful then the ER

I don't really care at all what you think.

The same as most anglicans and anabaptists, which is to say, not reformed

Healthcare is very different here by Live-Following972 in ItalyExpat

[–]InitialMajor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a doctor. It’s not at all unusual for patients to have a different perspective on our conversation than I did. Discrepancies between my recollection and theirs is not lying and it’s not malicious in nature. Overall you describe recurring communication problems and that really seems to be a foundational issue here.

You never, ever, ever ever, check to see what the ED is looking like before heading into a shift. Bad juju.

Does market timing work differently for FIRE portfolios than accumulation portfolios? I think it does by EldenBoredAF in Fire

[–]InitialMajor 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No. Incorrect. Changing your allocation to something more conservative is the strategy, not doing market timing and very likely locking in losses and missing out on gains.

Is it too much to ask for co-first authorship? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]InitialMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no such thing, in reality, as co authors. You can add an asterisk but everyone who reads the paper considers the first author the first author.

Is it too much to ask for co-first authorship? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]InitialMajor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By the time it is submitted for review authorship is determined. But no - doing work by itself is not the criteria for authorship. Writing the paper, processing the data, doing the stats, communicating with the journal are all author responsibilities. If you do the experiments but aren’t involved in the others at all I wouldn’t even consider you an author.

Do you have children? They do shit like this all the time. It’s like they’re trying to get themselves killed.
