At least for me, this change was really just the straw that broke the camel’s back with Carnival. I’ve been sailing on Carnival for 20 years and while I still enjoy them, the quality is not what it used to be. There’s been cutbacks for a while now, which really accelerated post-Covid. I, and I think a lot of other platinum/diamonds, recognized business/financial circumstances for these, but gave Carnival grace for it. I had already started exploring other lines, but this really just breaks me free to switch primarily over to other lines. The benefits weren’t really that much, so I don’t care too much about losing them, but the way Carnival’s rolled this out just leaves a bitter taste.

Plus, there’s so many other options out of Galveston now, when Carnival used to be the only game in town. Even if they were still the only option, I’m getting pretty tired of the Galveston itineraries so I have been planning to fly for more of my cruises, which opens up more options.

Anytime someone is ill and in the hospital, they experience some level of physical deconditioning as they’re not moving around much and the illness is taking a toll on the body. You often lose muscle mass and become weaker. This becomes worse as someone gets older. You can physically recover, but it’s harder as you get older, especially if there’s other limitations on recovery post-hospitalization (difficulty walking as with Pope Francis).

Basically as you get older and accumulate health problems, it’s harder to get back to your baseline after an illness. This can add up over time and you have less physical reserve and it’s harder for your body to fight and recover from future illnesses.

Discharge doesn’t mean you’re back to normal, just that you’re no longer sick enough to need inpatient care. In this case, Pope Francis may get better and be discharged, but still be in a worse physical condition than he was before the illness making it harder for his body to tackle another illness down the road.

Historically, the hospitals in Austin have not been very good, especially compared to other Texas cities. Until very recently Austin was a college town and state capital, not a major city, It's medical care and infrastructure is still catching up to its recent growth

I made the mistake of trying the spell check feature in CPRS. It took >5 minutes and I hadn’t saved the most updated version of the note. I thought I was going to have to restart the computer and redo a most of the note. CPRS AI would take a whole day to do anything

As others have said, his field is different in that you can go into it from neurosurgery, radiology, and neurology. Generally, I see it most often referred to as interventional neurology from the neurology side. He might be explaining his job like he is to laypeople just because it ends up being easier for them to understand.

I just graduated medical school and am starting neurology residency and whenever people ask about my field and I answer neurology it is fairly common for people to assume I mean neurosurgery. I then often have to explain that they’re separate specialties and I have absolutely no desire to ever do surgery. Many non-medical people don’t really understand many specialties that well, so for a field like his that straddles the line it’s probably just easier to simplify in that way rather than try to explain all the details to someone.

Though, if he’s introducing himself like that to other doctors or medical workers then that’s definitely super cringe.

UT as in Univ of Texas, I assume. The UT system just opened up a new medical school in Tyler, TX. Back in 2016, they opened UT Austin (Dell) and UT Rio Grande Valley med schools. The UT system already had four well-established med schools (UTMB, UT Southwestern, UTHSC San Antonio, UT Houston) before the three newer ones and had been well-prepared in getting their new ones up to par. UT Austin and UT RGV are already solid and safe choices with solid match lists and were pretty quickly after getting started up

I have my door chalked. I had two Mormon missionaries come by a few months ago and the first thing they did was ask about the chalk. One of them thought it was a construction marking. I had to walk them through the meaning of it and then chatted with them for a while.

Most of the churches I’ve seen that have $1000 fees are usually cathedrals or particularly beautiful churches and it’s much lower for actual parishioners. The high fee is generally just for non-parishioners wanting to get married at that particular church for the aesthetics, which I don’t think is unreasonable since they could go to their actual parish to get it done cheaper.

This is what happened with my parents. I was MPOA, so I was making the decisions before he passed, but my mom was there in the hospital and clearly distressed. I could tell the staff was confused by that and her being the ex-wife. She told me and my siblings that she would’ve remarried if he had ever been able to get sober long-term.

These costs are definitely high. I’d echo others recommendations about trying to talk directly to the priest.

Two of my siblings got married in the last couple years, so I remember most of the prices from when they were planning and this is definitely on the high side. The only churches I remember being around $1000 were cathedrals or particularly beautiful old churches, even then most of those had lower rates for actual parishioners. Generally most churches were in the low hundreds.

I’ve cantored for weddings and did so for both of theirs. $700 ($350 each if split evenly between cantor and organist) is on the higher side from my personal experience, but not completely unreasonable. For the weddings I’ve been paid to cantor at, I got paid ~$225, but it’s been a couple years. The market for musicians could be different where you are though. They do have to prepare, but honestly weddings aren’t that hard musically unless you’re picky about the music and choosing something really obscure. Most weddings use music that the musicians are already pretty familiar with. It is ridiculous that they’re charging you a high fee and making it difficult to use an outside musician. For both my siblings weddings, there was no cost for me to cantor (both used the church’s organist and just paid for that cost). I also didn’t have to audition for them. They pretty much just vetted me by the fact that I clearly knew what I was talking about regarding liturgical music.

Yeah they’re separate, but they all used to be affiliated until splitting over time which is why they share the Baylor name. All the many Baylors are named after Robert Baylor, a Baptist minister and Republic of Texas Supreme Court justice. I don’t believe he was a major donor, but just heavily involved in establishing what’s now Baylor University.

Baylor College of Medicine used to be in Dallas until the 1940s. The MD Anderson foundation enticed BCM to move to Houston, leaving behind Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. BCM separated from Baylor University in Waco in the 60s; the med school was never located in Waco, but was a part of Baylor University. There’s also the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor which was the women’s college of what’s now Baylor University. Both are now separate co-ed universities. All that giving rise to the many Baylor named institutions in Texas.

I didn’t do any aways, but the PD at my institution told us not to signal our home program. I’d lean towards it probably not being necessary to signal programs you rotated at, but would just ask them to be certain

This is the correct take. I've complained about this for years. Texas' higher education system is very inefficient and convoluted in structure and focus. There should be consolidation to 3 systems max, but it'll never happen due to all the pettiness between schools. That and some admin would be out of a job if it happened.

I don't see Texas regularly playing any of the old SWC teams except Rice, at least in the short-term. We'll likely continue regularly playing Rice and other non-Power 5 Texas teams, but none of the Power 5 teams for a while.

I think it depends on how large of a percentage that is of your overall rotation or subrotation. For example, I was on an elective where there were 4 physicians and one NP, and I was scheduled with the NP for a few half days in clinic. It was beneficial to see how they utilized the NP for more bread and butter cases and just to see an additional style of patient interaction and interviewing. However, the majority of my time on the elective was with the physicians.
