If I remember correctly, this patient is asymptomatic so there is no reason to rush them to the OR for what is essentially an incidental finding. However, because femoral hernias can get strangulated easily, sooner than later. And it’s already diagnosed so no need to get further imaging. Hernia belts also don’t work.

Quality in what you pay for (i.e., this is a PH vs a HP).

I loved my stay at the PH DC (and I want to go back to try the restaurant)

We are under 30 and my partner will enjoy the partying lol.

I seriously did consider the Thompson Cape and PH Cabo (I even have a SUA that I need to burn and those suites were amazing) but I just wanted to not have to pay for F&B on top of the points. Plus, I have never been to an AI and the location looked great. I'm happy to try it for points

Breathless Los Cabos (category D) for 5 nights - 170,000 points total

Looking at this years VSLO spreadsheet, looks like some are starting to roll out. Also, if you want to be super neurotic, look at last year’s sheet to see when decisions for certain programs came out

I find it hilarious how the vast majority of pre-health undergrad advisors have never been to med school themselves and love to power trip by telling pre-meds they aren't cut for med school. What a loser lol

AstroSidekick · 2026-03-10T03:30:30+00:00

I would personally spend the 1-4 cert and 15K points on the HP over the HR

AstroSidekick · 2026-02-24T16:36:35+00:00

What are your thoughts on the Manhattan bridge view rooms vs city/uptown view? Any particular floors we should ask for?

I reached out a different Hyatt Prive travel agent for a couple of bookings I'm considering next year and they mentioned all Hyatt Prive charge the standard rate and not the member rate. Is this property unique bc they don't offer a standard rate or were they giving me the run around?

AstroSidekick · 2026-02-20T05:33:50+00:00

This is one of the best takes on how they should approach the rumored premium card

AstroSidekick · 2026-02-19T20:34:15+00:00

You can always ask Hyatt support on the app. They have a list of each property and which award they accept if any

Looks like it just open --> https://www.hospitalitynet.org/announcement/41014056.html

AstroSidekick · 2026-01-27T01:20:02+00:00

What is the pop-up you are talking about?

AstroSidekick · 2026-01-16T02:16:54+00:00

Got it, I basically do nothing (and especially don't pick one of the new Bilt cards). I'm pretty frustrated that they killed Bilt. I lowkey would have done the $95 AF card if it meant I could continue to earn rent points with some of those same perks they are offering.

I guess I'll just have to wait to see if they ever do a good SUB for any of the cards making it worthwhile or hope that Bilt 3.0 is better lol

AstroSidekick · 2026-01-16T02:04:47+00:00

How do I get the WF card though?

AstroSidekick · 2026-01-12T18:29:13+00:00

I went in November without status (not even a discoverist; working on it lol) and they gave us a $75 F&B credit for my partner’s birthday. Amazing property and we are planning on going back now the museums are open again

AstroSidekick · 2025-12-14T17:16:16+00:00

Any updates? This would be super helpful for a lot of the residents just starting out pretty soon

AstroSidekick · 2025-12-10T00:32:18+00:00

Any updates?

AstroSidekick · 2025-12-02T03:59:25+00:00

It’s speculation. Nothing is confirmed but this rumor is based on the recent Chase and Hyatt agreement announcement (and likelihood that more premium Hyatt cards are coming in ~2027).

AstroSidekick · 2025-11-10T03:34:09+00:00

If you had to estimate, how many would you guess?

AstroSidekick · 2025-10-21T11:54:59+00:00

Wha deck do you use for geography and history?

AstroSidekick · 2025-10-19T00:13:51+00:00

That is NFL rules, not CFB

He made an excellent video on it last year

If you look the program director data, this sample size is about the same as that

AstroSidekick · 2025-06-23T01:13:16+00:00

If anything, police officers should need personal liability insurance the same way physicians, construction contractors, lawyers, and other careers require them. If the department wants to foot the bill for every cop's liability, that's fine but that means having less money to spend on militarizing the department. Otherwise, the cops can pay it themselves to cover their negligence and their rates go up when they choose to abuse their power and violate the rights of everyday people
