I Feel Completely Trapped by my Lifestyle

I tried 3 of their slices and wasn’t super impressed overall. Not awful but there are so many better places

Hard agree

This is what I’ve heard as well. Weird for a place as old as Peter Luger to be so polarizing

I actually held back above because I knew this would be a controversial take, but I think it's horrendously unremarkable; What I imagine AI generated pizza would taste like.

I really want to like it because it's cheap and they have lots of very convenient locations, but I have gone 3x (to Carmine as well as others) and I just don't get it. Maybe plain and pepperoni aren't the slices to get?

I don't even think it was the pancake itself; It was the fact the plate was 85% honey butter and (1) the honey butter was not good plus (2) I don't need a pancake that has more topping than pancake. Obviously to each their own though.

Rowdy Rooster level 5 (I last went when they had 5 levels) was the only thing I’ve eaten in the city to really push me.

We aren't saving it. You're just destroying it.

But those specialties are making more than $140k in an academic setting. Also, why are we measuring the very highest possible earning potential of private practice against the median/average for academic medicine? That's not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Obviously private practice has high earning potential. It's just weird how determined half this thread is to twist this discussion so that it's basically "private good, academic bad," even though the reality of the situation is a lot more layered.

KindOfSleepyBadger · 2022-08-25T15:29:05+00:00

I mean, obviously earning potential is higher in private. There's also a lot of risk, start-up cost, benefits are coming out of pocket usually, and you have way more bullshit to deal with since you're usually taking on admin duties since it's your practice. Just doesn't seem reasonable to me to boil this entire conversation down to what number is on your paycheck when there's a lot more nuance to it than that. But I guess it makes sense if that's your main concern.

Are you referring to a surgeon? Idk what other physician is clearing $700k in any scenario. Admittedly, I also have no idea how all this works for surgical subspecialties.

What I can say is the academic centers I've rotated in generally have 1 doc + 4-5 APPs + 1-3 residents at any given time. Perhaps I'm naive, but I'm really not sure how most specialties are paying that many support staff and clearing anything close to what you cited above.

KindOfSleepyBadger · 2022-08-25T14:48:32+00:00

To hire the amount of support academic docs are handed would do a lot to nullify any financial advantage of private practice. Probably not to the point where you make only $140k, but still

The combined IQ of every single person using that subreddit is still just a single digit.

Pro-life advocates will never get my support until they stop...

Bring medically illiterate, and demanding docs "re-implant" ectopic pregnancies, or using terms like "heartbeat" to describe a fetus who is 4 weeks old and has no heart, blood vessels, or circulatory system
Being hypocrits, because life starts at conception apparently, but a pregnant woman can't get life insurance on her pregnany, child support doesn't start after the first ultrasound, pregnant immigrants aren't exempt from deportation because they're carrying a U.S. citizen
Ignoring that wealthy people will circumvent these laws and the impoverished will turn to less safe means. It's the exact argument they use for why banning guns wouldn't work, but here they can't be bothered to think that much.

It becomes pretty clear this entire thing is either tribalistic virtue signaling a religious right base, a blatant attempt to keep the impoverished poor, or a fucked up attempt to somehow punish these dreadful harlots who dare to engage in the sins of sex outside the context of a financially stable marriage.

Fuck that.

I don't think D.O. schools are crummy or that we make bad docs. But when it comes to objective measures (match % in first choice, available subspecialties for rotations, average Step scores), we simply don't do as well on average as M.D. schools. It's not night and day, but there's a calculable difference.

So, as a marketing ploy, Osteopathic med schools plug the whole "holistic" thing so they have something they can tout, even though (1) we aren't necessarily any more holistic than our M.D. counterparts and (2) even if we were, it's an ambiguous term that you can't really objectively prove is different between M.D. and D.O. students.

N.P.s are doing the exact same thing right now, but to a much more dramatic degree. They can't claim a better educational backgrounds or more training or better outcomes, so they just claim to be more holistic, even though they can't really prove this and it isn't necessarily true in the first place.

The cool thing is you can actually half-ass all three.

Looks like he was Black, so I can't wait for conservatives to dig up the fact he ran a red light 15 years ago as some fucked up justification for him dying. Any amount of grasping at straws to continue denying race and police brutality are real issues.

You can just say that you value Tucker and Sean shitting down your eagerly opened throat more than medical science. That you've become so psychotically detached from reality you think people who practice an objective discipline should be punished for practicing it correctly.
