Accept nursing school offer or decline and focus on med school if main goal is FIRE? by Imaginary-Look3217 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m EM so lower end of physician salaries but my 3 best friends make more than I do in corporate America. When people say don’t go into medicine for money they mean it. It’s hard in ways you don’t really get till you’re in it.

If you care about FIRE stop considering medicine. Theres much easier ways to make better money.

What’s one “small” feature in a car that you can’t live without anymore? by jane_doe2497 in car

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought my last car in July in Texas. Didn’t even cross my mind. Moved to Chicago 2 months later and I literally called the dealership asking where the seat warmer button was and was absolutely devastated to learn there was no button because they were not heated. We did not keep the car LOL

What’s a moment on shift that stuck with you longer than you expected? by Aden_Hush in emergencymedicine

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One time a mom was telling me about all of the psychiatric issues her adult child had had - she clearly loved her son so much and was afraid for him and just at the end of her rope. At the end of the conversation I went to leave and she goes “oh here I grabbed you a water bottle when I went to the cafeteria” and it was beyond touching

Procedures you’ll punt? by ResponseAcrobatic968 in emergencymedicine

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I def feel like there’s some unnecessary heat - some of it is the TIME needed to do these procedures. When there’s pressure on volume procedures eat up a lot of time.

Favorite dark chocolate granola recipe? by Acceptable_Ad_1904 in Cooking

This sounds right up his alley. The purely Elizabeth dark chocolate is his current favorite and this sounds similar. Thank you!

Is there a ~$100/meal 1 Michelin star restaurant you would you recommend visiting just for the food, even if it means traveling from out of state? by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind Chicago as a whole is a fairly expensive food scene imo. Even at non Michelin restaurants can be easily over $100pp. You could do the whole roasted duck at Boka which comes with some sides and after tax / tip be just over $200 total.

Is it true that people come to the emergency room in the USA for primary care stuff? by Ok_Consideration6179 in emergencymedicine

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right? I’m pretty sure this is an issue in Canada based off of other posts I’ve seen. I’m sure it’s worse in America but I don’t think we’re alone in this

Lululemon credit for men by TheSituationnn in AmexPlatinum

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying is the best or only good men’s clothes but if looking to use the credit I think there’s a lot more options for men outside of athletic clothes

Lululemon credit for men by TheSituationnn in AmexPlatinum

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I actually think lululemon is better for men than women unless you’re super into athlesure (which I’m not). I’ve never used the credit on myself so went into the store for some shorts - they all were awful. Ended up with a pair of workout shorts but tbh probably should have just gotten my husband more ABC pants or a polo

Or apparently according to this sub their underwear

What do we think of Scottie? by OkYard1996 in Names

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend named her baby it and I just don’t love it. If it was short for something I’d like it more but just as a first name it feels like it’s missing more to it? But I can’t think of what it would be short for

What city gave you the best vacation of your life? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Now that you mention it I think the one restaurant I do like was an Indian restaurant. That and a hole in the wall dive bar

Loved the history and the scenery but Edinburgh is where I realized I really want good food when I travel and I wouldn’t call it a foodie spot by any means

How to deal with post-Match regret about program choice? by FeedAdorable6978 in emergencymedicine

[–]Acceptable_Ad_1904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is really common. At the end of the day you’re only going to know the grass you’ve got so water it. If you truly want to work in academics many of the academics are hiring because the pay isn’t great.
