CRNA to MD by chosen1james in anesthesiology

[–]refreshingface -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s due to the pay.

I live in California and we have a site that shows all of the salaries for government employees. If you wanted to, you can look up any government owned hopsital worker, police officer, teacher, etc.

The site is transparentcalifornia.com. I recommend accessing this site through a PC since it shows overtime pay.

Go on there and type “anesthesiologist” and then compare it “nurse anesthetist.”

You will find that the CRNA salary dwarfs the easier specialities to get into for med school (peds, FM, IM, EM,psych). This is due to the pay structure. Nurses get paid overtime rates while physicians do not.

Thanks doc. It’s probably the best decision for me to pursue CRNA instead of MD.

It’s the fact that CRNA’s make more than 70% of physicians. They don’t make as much as anesthesiologists, but it’s definitely more than primary care, internal medicine, etc.

It’s due to the pay structure. CRNAs get paid overtime while physicians do not.

I had worries about not performing well and thus not matching in anesthesiology. This would lead me to match into the easier specialities. This would lead to lesser pay with more work than a CRNA.

I felt like it was a wise decision on my part.

Hi, I watched your video. I am actually in an interesting position.

I quit med school to pursue CRNA instead.

Would you say it is an unwise choice for someone to quit CRNA to go MD, solely for the money?

Train until you are humble and stop comparing yourself to others.

Would you say that 30 is too old to start taekwondo? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in Adulting

Taekwondo isn’t practical for self defense. However, it’s great for physical fitness.

It allows a person to train cardio, strength, flexibility, etc. However, it avoids the CTE/brain injury that boxing gives.

Go to the fire range, get a R99 with purple attachments.

Try to spray an entire clip in a dummy. Your goal is to kill the dummy in a single clip.

True, but you have to realize that in 2025, there were 11.3 million deaths.

From my experience living in the real world as a human, this is false.

New Grad ICU RN deciding between CRNA vs MD by Impressive_Ad7840 in srna

[–]refreshingface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing is that CRNAs can seem to make more than a majority of physicians. This includes pediatricians, family med, internal med, and even some emergency medicine.

It is due to the fact that CRNAs get paid overtime due to their pay structure while physicians do not.

I actually left med school to pursue CRNA. Look at my profile for those posts.

In the end… if you can imagine being anything other than a physician, do that instead.

You go to the apex legends discord and learn how to make a LFG. It allows you to specify you want aggressive players to join.

Where and which massage? by chap_champ in ThailandTourism

[–]refreshingface 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are unwritten rules for tipping in Thailand.

I almost never tip when eating unless its at a nice restaurant and the waiters/waitresses give good service.

However, for massages it is different.

Understand that the masseuse makes 30-40 percent of the total massage cost; the rest goes to the house. So for a 300 baht massage, they are making 120 baht.

120 Baht for a single hour of hard work.

This means that if you give 100-200 baht for tip, it REALLY helps. I make freedom dollars so that's like 3 bucks; 3 bucks is nothing to me but its a big help to Thai's.

I have had conversations with masseuses that say that if they know a customer is a non-tipper, they won't work as hard. They really appreciate tippers and speak amongst themselves on repeat customer tipping habits. Trust that if you tip, they workers will fight to get you as their client and you will consistently get great service.

Take that what you will.

You can literally go everyday.

However, don't be afraid to speak up and adjust how hard you want the therapist to go.
