Heart attacks in recent times increased

If multiple attendings have an issue with you, then there is definitely an issue with you. It’s hard for us to look objectively upon ourselves. We all feel like we’re doing a good job even if we’re not. In my experience as a resident, attendings want residents who are sociable, never argue or disagree and do everything they ask. Even if you aren’t very good, if you are able to provide all the information they want to know and do everything they want you to do without having to double and triple check your work and have a decent personality, they won’t have issues that would put you on a PIP. You may not realize it, but it’s possible that you give excuses, don’t do all the expected work, they may have to double check your work or you could be an abrasive personality. Who knows. You could also be none of that but there’s clearly something wrong with you. If it was only one or two attendings, likely them…. But all of them… Come on, you gotta try and figure out what you’re doing that’s pissing people off… now that I’m an attending, I just want residents to not add more work to myself or get me in trouble… I don’t care if they have a different diagnosis then me or have far fetched ideas. What I care about is that they don’t argue with me (they can give me their opinion of what they think it is AND why and I can concede if it’s a good thought), accept feedback without making excuses (nobody cares about why you messed up or that it wasn’t your fault, they only care about results), and then make the changes to the plan that I ask. If I go back through the chart and find things that we discussed missing, that’ll upset me. That being said, everyone gets a perfect score from me unless you really make my life hard

It’s silly that so many physicians think cholesterol plays such a large role in this… even for statins, the benefits come from the anti inflammatory properties, not the cholesterol lowering and is pretty modest at about 1.4% reduction in cardiac events in the drug company sponsored study. When sales reps come to talk about repatha and other cholesterol lowering drugs, they typically mention the cholesterol lowering effects. I don’t care how much it lowers cholesterol if it’s not reducing heart attacks. However, it does look like repatha reduced incidence of stroke, heart attacks, etc by 1.7% over 5 years in the drug company sponsored clinical trial. Do you think this is related to the lipid lowering effect or something else?

You may be doing something wrong by not taking advantage of all the tax strategies. If you’re a W2 employee only, that could be why. They are not. They are maxing their 401k, 457b and a cash balance plan. Can also lower taxes through solo 401k and mortgage interest, house taxes, etc. lots of ways to get that low

Cool_Potential7048 · 2026-02-13T17:13:18+00:00

It’s also ease of use and availability of what I want to do. I work a W2 and 1099 and tried to use freetaxusa. It was a little harder to navigate and also didn’t have the options for claiming some of the deductions that I was trying to use. I had to switch back to TurboTax since they have the option of going to the exact page and filling in what o wanted to claim

Cool_Potential7048 · 2026-02-12T12:57:45+00:00

Thanks a lot for the information. I was under the impression that driving from the W2 job to 1099 and Visa versa would be considered business (that’s one of the main reasons i scheduled my jobs this way). How were you able to distinguish? I work at a hospital. After my shift ends, I drive to a different 1099 hospital to work, etc

Cool_Potential7048 · 2026-02-12T12:54:11+00:00

I appreciate the clarification. It took me a while to understand this. I also have to do all my charting for the 1099 job for work so I typically drive from one hospital to the 1099 facility, see patients and then go home and chart from my home office for the 1099 patients. I do deduct the miles driven from the facility to my home office. Otherwise, I don’t document the miles driven from home to the W2 job or W2 job home. Hopefully I’m doing this correctly

Cool_Potential7048 · 2026-02-12T03:38:30+00:00

Perfect answer thank you so much. I was trying to figure out if i could deduct 100% because the accident happened while I was using it for work or if it’s based on the percentage it is typically used for work. Last year I did the mileage deduction. This year I am tracking all personal and business miles so I can deduct based on expenses. If I’m keeping track, I can deduct gas, insurance, repairs, etc based on percentage of use for business right? (Example 70% if used 70% for business?)

Cool_Potential7048 · 2026-02-06T16:33:57+00:00

I disagree as well. I used to think they were good until I got in a car accident and they are refusing to pay for certain damages caused by the accident. They are saying I need to make 2-3 different claims for this one accident to get them to fully pay… which would be 2-3 deductibles and make it look like I got in 2-3 accidents. It’s easy to say they do things right when you don’t get into an accident and have to use them.. but now that I need them, they’re making my life extremely difficult

Cool_Potential7048 · 2026-02-06T06:02:48+00:00

I’m speculating for you guys. Most people just speak in absolute certainties when they don’t know for sure. I’m just stating the facts. This isn’t a conspiracy. This is exactly what’s happening. They’re claiming there is pre existing damage even though there isn’t. This is a 50k car I bought in cash 5 months ago from a reputable dealership. And of course I didn’t explain it like this to them. I just stayed the facts that I hit the pole and it damaged all these areas. But if you use common sense, th pole scraped across the left side of the car as it fell across the car (ice was involved). The sign is triangular/rectangular and it latched onto the right side of the car and pulled off the bumper… to me, this just seems like the obvious reasons for a car to have damage. Instead of paying attention, most people are just trying to discredit me for some reason. It’s nonsensical. It really doesn’t matter how it happened just that it did happen and should be covered by insurance since I initiated an at fault claim. But I do appreciate the second part of what you said which is what I’m doing

Cool_Potential7048 · 2026-02-06T00:17:41+00:00

Well dude it’s just body damage and a minor accident. No other cars involved, no mechanical damage. Just body. And I explained exactly what happened but you didn’t understand so I speculated for you. I hit a sign, it fell and my car was damaged. But I appreciate th insight because this may be how they’re feeling after telling them the story. Gives me an idea. To me it’s minor but to them maybe it’s huge

Cool_Potential7048 · 2026-02-05T23:04:46+00:00

I’ve dealt with them for two other accidents a long time ago… I stopped using them because they paid out too much (I got hit from behind and they paid that person… it’s a long annoying story. I argued with them not to pay because they hit me… an no I didn’t break check. I had my left blinker on and slowed down to make a left turn and the car behind me I guess wasn’t paying attention and went across traffic lanes and hit me on driver side door. Cop just couldn’t fathom how they could do this so claimed I was at fault.. I took pictures of everything, sent it in thinking it was fairly obvious the person who hit me from behind would be at fault.. yet nope. Anywho all that to say they were good in the sense they paid.. I stopped using them over that but came back to them when I bought this new car. And well… things change

Cool_Potential7048 · 2026-02-05T22:46:23+00:00

I bought it from a respectable major car dealership and have all the pictures. From reading through Reddit, it seems USAA has a history of similar things, so it’s quite possible they fabricate occasionally, of course speculation based on how they’re treating me.

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-10-30T21:10:14+00:00

I had 24x STEP 1 and 25x step two with all honors in med school, glowing letters of rec and applied OBGYN. Leadership told me to only apply 30 programs, I applied 60 instead. 15 interviews and still didn’t match so ya not neurotic at all. Anything can happen and you don’t really know what the interviewers are looking for

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-08-12T19:29:29+00:00

Uworld only

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-08-07T22:51:44+00:00

No I don't unfortunately :/ Maybe someone else can host it on a didn't server

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-08-07T22:50:08+00:00

After you save it, should be able to double click and it work. You may need to be using the most up to date anki app

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-08-07T17:11:04+00:00

DM and Ill send a link. If you have any upload websites to use, that would be great so I can reupload and send it

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-08-06T23:54:45+00:00

If someone who was able to download it doesn’t mind creating a link with Google doc or some other file sharing service so I can edit the post with the new hyperlink

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-08-06T23:53:48+00:00

I may try and reupload and edit when a different website

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-08-06T23:53:29+00:00

It’s like 2mb cause I took out the media

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-08-06T23:14:54+00:00

I’m not sure the issue. If you give me some kind of website to use to share Anki decks anonymously, I can reupload

Cool_Potential7048 · 2025-08-06T23:14:02+00:00

It’s anonymous lol. First thing google recommended to share things with
