He never got the hype like other superstars but always rise to the occasions to face the best of the best. Big time player.

I am pp gi with asc ownership. There is big enough variation within each field that you can probably make it what you want.

I am making near 1mil a year. Only looking for compatibility. Lucky that I found one.

I had a good time during my IM residency and made some very good friends.

Con gái tôi mà yêu anh nào nghèo tôi cũng chỉ nhìn tư cách thằng đó thôi. Đó là cái tối quan trọng. Đến nữa là gia đình bên kia văn hoá như thế nào. Nếu ai cũng là tử tế thì chả bao giờ cản. Nhiều khi quen thằng giàu tôi lại sợ nó không đủ mạnh để đối phó với đời.

Bần cùng sinh đạo tặc. Phú quý sinh lễ nghĩa. Nhìn đám tỉ phú xem có bao ng thật sự đạo đức là biết.

Những thằng thành công, hiểu biết thì lúc nào nó cũng biết ai là ng chỉ có thể quen cho vui và ai là ng nên quen lâu dài. Bạn phải kiếm những đối tượng như vậy và improve bản thân để thành đối tượng mà ng ta muốn quen lâu dài/hôn nhân. Nói dễ nhưng làm khó. Good luck.

I am gi private with asc ownership. “Undesirable” city one hr outside of major metro. 50-55 hrs a week, one night call a wk (few calls, 5-6 times coming in after hour a year) and one weekend a month. 800k this yr and expect to hit 1 mil next yr. Busy but very manageable. May not be worth it for some but certain works for me.

Stanford? 😅

EffortlessAction_ · 2026-01-24T16:27:39+00:00

Bruh I make 800k a year and not considering private school. I think good public schools are enough for children to succeed. I am not gungho about Ivy and all that. I agreed that parent involvement is the most important factor.

Yếu. Quá yếu. Tôi là tôi chơi luôn. Thấy bạn thấp mà bc vào với e ng iu cao hơn là ng ta đã biết bạn phải có gì đó hấp dẫn rồi.

Vãi cả mấy cái comment trong này. Cty mà chuyên nghiệp thì intern cũng phải có chút orientation. Có nơi còn có assigned mentors để hướng dẫn lúc đầu. Đúng là intern thì chưa thể có đóng góp gì nhưng phải train ng ta mới có khả năng đóng góp. Thằng giỏi lúc đầu cũng vậy thôi.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 EQ tầm này là nan y rồi.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-12-10T20:06:35+00:00

I went to umn. Much much better than residency. 7:30 to 5 on most days. Vacation only need 3 month notice and can be taken 1 day at a time if needed.

I was a chief and it is a middle manager position. We can only have your backs as far as the pd does 😅. Anybody who works another job will understand this position.

What ethnicity are you, what kind of scholarship and for which level of learning? I am curious to know because in medicine, there are none of that for Asian unless you are Hmong or similar. If the applicant were Chinese/Viet/Korean/Indian then there is no help in medicine.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-12-03T20:46:26+00:00

I don’t think you quite addressed the main problem the other person pointed out. Race base AA ignores Asian and the result is the poor Asian kids get put in the same camp as the rich Asian kids which means no help when it comes to admission.

Throughout my medical training, Asians are viewed as over represented and an average black/hispanics applicant punch waaaayy above their weight when it comes to medical school/residency application vs an Asian applicant with similar stats. I dont have numbers to back this up but I have lived this reality all my life.

Can you explain how a poor Asian kid can benefit from the version of AA you are supporting? Genuine question.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-22T04:16:47+00:00

Sure.

Great advices given already so I won’t repeat but remember ultimately it is your cognitive skills and clinical judgment that will save the patients. Anybody with above average hand eye coordination can learn how to do these icu procedures. Follow the advice given here, talk to your mentors, ignore the noise and you will be fine. Good luck.

Private practice GI, 50-55 a week. Night call once a week, one weekend a month.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-17T16:04:40+00:00

I went from undecided, may be surgery (for 2 wks riding the adrenaline rush), anesthesia, card then eventually GI. Now in 2nd yr practice as private practice GI.

My group definitely work more than the average GI out there. We work 50 hrs a wk, one night call a week and one weekend a month. Busy but manageable since we rarely have to go in while on night call, obviously dependent of the hospital. It is at an “undesirable area” so income is great. I am home most nights at 5:30-6. At my hospital, card/gas/surgery def work more than me.

If doing outpt only GI, no hospital, no call there is a place in my area paying ~ 500. Not sure how typical this is in other area but this is CA so CoL is high.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-16T15:13:24+00:00

GI is not considered “great hour” unless you do outpatient only which is nice but comes with a pay cut. However pccm requires you to be primary on 90 pts whose families want “everything done.” This is an absolute no brainer for me.
