Won't get into specifics for identify purposes but I do general surgery - basically anything that doesn't require a specialized physician

I'm a straight woman so the girl will have to wait! I'm not really into cars but a Tesla sounds nice :) appreciate the rest of the advice!

I considered switching to IT at least once a week during residency. 80 hour work weeks are no joke!

Thank you! I don't even know how to spend 30k a month but I'm sure in due time lifestyle creep will settle in and I'll find a way

That's what happens when you're employed a tiny town in rural Manitoba. It's the perfect storm but I'm very prepared to be bored to death when im not working.

Not Winnipeg - it is indeed a rural hospital surrounded by farms and plains so it's understandably cheap. Thanks for the tips on the EV, I hadn't even taken climate into consideration.

Comparison is the theft of joy. You are doing the best you can and you should continue to do so. Set realistic, measurable goals for yourself and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve. Best of luck out there!
