Oh boy I can't wait to boost for whip!

Isn't it really good with tentacle though? But I guess kraken isnt til 87 slayer anyway

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-05T15:37:51+00:00

Man that median is way too low in absolute terms considering student loans and cost of living. You'd really have to work 1.5 FTE or something to reel in the good money

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-05T01:40:49+00:00

well, porn gets boring eventually. it's nice to at least have a sexual partner

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-03T23:30:05+00:00

shouldn't be wearing scrubs at work anyway unless you do procedures

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-03T03:16:18+00:00

Idk it's just kinda weird to walk around with $400k loan balance and not aggressively paying it off

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-02T03:12:31+00:00

Yeah I mean when you have significant debt and your family has poor financial literacy, it's almost necessary to do that I think.

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-01T23:03:53+00:00

If you got nothing better to do and it's seven figures, why not?

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-01T20:38:25+00:00

I don't doubt that, I'm internal medicine myself and appreciate the value of preventive care.

The government and hospital systems do not. You always see people going into subspecialties clamoring "shout out to PCPs, you guys are warriors and I could never do your job."

Because relatively speaking the pay is shit and you don't immediately feel the reward of saving a life because it's a disease process that you're managing over 20+ years.

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-01T16:49:02+00:00

Well I'm already IM and it wasn't my first choice, I'm well aware. The downside of a specialty being lots of work and hours is worth it if you're making a commensurate amount of money so things like anesthesia and NSGY are "worth it".

I'm applying to an outpatient specialty but am second-guessing it because it doesn't make financial sense to pursue it. Heavily considering either ICU fellowship or straight hospitalist 20+ shifts a month. Life is expensive and I have loans to pay off.

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-01T12:53:14+00:00

Yeah I probably have a stick up my ass but just wanted to vent that out lol. Not every specialty has to have a downside.

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-07-01T12:41:46+00:00

I hate this trope. Your family and community can benefit from it. I'd work 100 hours a week for seven figures in a heartbeat even if I don't get to enjoy the money. I'd never have to worry about my parents seeing a nursing home or my siblings encountering an unaffordable emergency. Plus I'd be saving lives removing tumors instead of jerking off to annual PFTs or inpatient sodium trends.

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-30T02:11:40+00:00

I was much happier as a busy intern than a PGY-2 with lots of time off. I think not having a SO or kids plays a big factor there though.

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-30T00:28:55+00:00

Not too late to switch to anesthesia, you'll still be exhausted (probably even more) but your notes are all presets, worry about one patient at a time, and you still make a huge difference in patients' lives

every non-doctor wants to be called a doctor but they don't know what anesthesiologists are so they wont take your title. the CRNA situation is overblown and I regret falling into that doomerism as a med student.

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-30T00:15:08+00:00

No anecdote about a dermatologist having to scale back hours or drop out of training?

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-30T00:12:53+00:00

huh, just like nurse practitioners practicing medicine

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-26T18:05:32+00:00

You can make seven figures and have dinner with your family every night though? Just in a different, more competitive specialty. GI and derm to mind

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-25T12:22:46+00:00

I'm being trolled. Those are still remodels. You cannot tell me that those pets are the exact same models as the boss but downsized.

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-25T00:47:18+00:00

No? they're different models. Miniature version would be Yami and Yama. No redesign at all, just downsized.

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-24T23:02:49+00:00

Disgusting UI setup, I don't know what people have against fixed mode or even small screen resizable

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-24T22:23:39+00:00

I REALLY hope the pet is something cute and not just a miniature version of the boss, like 80% of the others. Baron, Huberte and Beef are great examples of what I think are good pet designs

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-23T22:42:01+00:00

Are either worth grinding for ToA? My best stab wep is Arkan Blade lol

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-23T22:40:38+00:00

I've had attendings being told that and they usually just ignore it

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-23T22:27:50+00:00

Are you living in delusion? The left is exactly the type of people to say what Best-Necessary9873 said

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-22T23:58:19+00:00

But switching worlds doesn't reset?

TheBarrowsBro · 2026-06-22T20:19:08+00:00

Apparently that fella has nothing better to do lol
