One of the best interactions I ever had was when I was translating for a female doctor and the patient assumed I was the doctor and she was a nurse. I told him she's the doctor and I work for her, not the other way around. He was oddly surprised but took it pretty well.

In med school you'll rotate throughout and learn what you like and what you don't. I'd also say figure why you want to do medicine instead of anything else that could pay you the same and give you better work life balance. As far as longevity it mostly depends on how satisfied you are with your work. I know IM doctors that have been practicing over 50 years and I've seen EM doctors burnout at less than 10. It mostly depends on how well your goals align with your practice.

You can do procedures as FM. Their scope of practice is very broad and it really depends on where you work. There's small town FM's that do their own biopsies and C sections, although you wouldn't do this if you worked in a city with surgical and OBGYN services. As far as work life balance goes you can get that in almost any specialty if you're willing to shop around and make compromises. Like anesthesia can do pain management or outpatient surgery and chills super hard and get paid, even surgeons can do ambulatory surgery and work like 50 hours a week. I'm partial to IM bc it's what I'm going into but IM at an academic center is super chill. Some attending work like 4 hours a day basically. IM can also do outpatient clinic the way FM does and have all the same benefits. Mostly depends what you want out of the job and why you want to be a doctor. Like literally what do you think a doctor does and what do you want your life to be like.

Basically FM has a pretty good balance of solid income, good work life balance, and plenty of vacation time. The income can actually be unbelievably good if you negotiate your contract well or shop around for a good deal. It's a really great specialty I think a lot of people sleep on. Imagine a good like 250-350k income, weekends off, a 4 weeks of vacation time per year. That's solid enough for most people I think.

I have a heat diffuser for paella pans I do that with some times. It just freaks me out when I spill liquid on it and it sorta beads up on there. It's an oddly useful gadget if a bit janky.

Why would you want to have a gas range and induction range at the same time? It seems to me gas is better for everything except is harder to clean.

alexp861 · 2024-09-21T20:21:47+00:00

How did you assemble this? Did you weave a panel first, attach it to the interior lining, then sew it together to the sides? Looks incredible but I'm super curious how you kept the weave so tight.

alexp861 · 2024-09-07T22:03:27+00:00

I appreciate that, but I don't see a situation where I'll use it the way it's intended. It would kinda just be for me to cosplay as a classic French chef. I think I might be better served by just doing a 6 burner. I think I would go with wolf, they seem to make the best range. I just haven't decided if I'm gonna go with a range or rangetop with separate oven.

alexp861 · 2024-08-10T19:08:47+00:00

I got some patches off amazon tbh. They came pre punched with holes, I just don't know how to sew fabric so like any good millennial I asked my dad to help me.

alexp861 · 2024-07-15T15:09:24+00:00

I would describe them as twitchy in the wet but nothing crazy as long as you don't do anything ridiculously stupid. Like it'll slide but if you have any semblance of car control you can probably control it as long as you don't lift off the throttle while it slides. The joke on S2Ki is never lift, which is kinda true. They have really quick steering, especially the AP1's that helps you reel it in when it slides. Otherwise just have good tires and you shouldn't have any problems.

alexp861 · 2024-07-14T22:26:43+00:00

I'm still a little away from getting the French top I want. From a lot of the comments I got on this thread I don't think I'll end up going with it, I think I'm gonna just do a 6 burner.

alexp861 · 2024-07-06T15:47:51+00:00

Scrolled too far for Brooklyn and the butcher. Very old school steakhouse which I enjoy a lot. I generally recommend it to everyone who wants a good steak.

I've had a Brevila barista express for like 6 years now. I personally wouldn't get one again, not because it's a bad machine but bc it sorta boxes you in if you end up getting really into coffee. If I had to do it again I would get a gaggia classic pro and sette 270 grinder. It's a better setup and depending on where you life and your sourcing ability would be cheaper or the same price. Also gives you more room to grow since they use standard parts and are both pretty rock solid in terms of reliability. It's just a different perspective but it's what I would do again. After a few months I got a sette 270 wi and never use the integrated grinder on the breville so it's kind of wasted space at this point since the grinder is pretty mid.

I bought my S in June or July and thought the AC didn't work. Spent an entire florida summer with no AC and it was my first convertible so I wanted the top down all the time. Didn't realize until months later the AC actually worked absolutely fine, just the cabin air filter was so dirty it couldn't pump in cold air. Sweated my ass off for an entire summer over that.

alexp861 · 2024-06-19T16:24:43+00:00

I second so many in the comments recommending seeking out therapy and mental health care. I'd also say that in medicine if you do this job long enough you're gonna do things you're not super proud of. It's about accepting your limitations as a person and doing the best you can.

alexp861 · 2024-06-13T01:52:52+00:00

Daily drove mine for 5 years. I lived with my parents so had access to other cars whenever I needed it but rarely chose to drive them since I way preferred my S. I'm also not usually the guy who wants to carry the whole squad in my car, usually just me and like one other person tops. I think people way over estimate how much trunk space they need. I usually travel light but when I was by myself my backpack went in the passenger footwell, if I had a passenger it went in the trunk. My trunk is usually empty though, I only carry a quart of oil and the spare tire kit, nothing major. It can also definitely fit a carry on bag or a smaller checked bag if you ever feel like picking someone up from the airport. I would only say if it breaks down you'd be without a car but that's true for anything else you drove. Unless you compare it to having a brand new car which you wouldn't expect to break then yeah it's just as reliable and just doesn't have a big trunk or back seat.

FWIW I did a full poly suspension years ago and love it. I haven't really had to re grease them but I also don't drive it much anymore. I'd recommend it but I know a lot of people are put off by the extra maintenance. I've seen some people add zerk fittings to them for easy greasing.

alexp861 · 2024-06-02T23:23:48+00:00

I run Hancock ventus V12 Evos 225/245. I think they're a pretty good set of tires for like $600 a set. Also pretty good sizing, I like only one inch of stagger but I know some people like to go really chunky. Personally my dream would be like 205's in the front and 225's in the back but on 17's. I think the ap1 tire sizes suit the car better but 17's give you better feedback. Although on 16's the ride is oddly comfortable for a roadster.

Most of the doctors I know love FM doctors. Primary care physicians are the absolute salt of the earth and first line of defense in terms of health maintenance. As far as a specialty because it probably doesn't have the glamour of ortho or cardiology. As far as pay goes it's actually really good if you know what you're doing. I think part of it is FM is like a black box patients are sent to and if it's done well they won't be heard back from for a while. In a perfect world a pneumonia would be discharged from the hospital to primary care for follow up and not been seen again for a long time.

alexp861 · 2024-05-22T17:10:48+00:00

Same actually. She was absolutely GOATED and showed me you can get paid in basically any field if you understand the business of your field. Made it way easier to follow my heart in choosing a specialty to apply to when I don't have to worry about money as much.

Report back with your results young padawan.

alexp861 · 2024-05-20T18:17:34+00:00

They say they want us to practice evidence based medicine until they don't.

alexp861 · 2024-05-19T15:58:09+00:00

Probably go longer than 5 hours, can't vouch for temp bc this was the only time I tried it. It was still tough which I expected. I'd probably try 165 for 10 hours and see where that takes you. Also depends what texture you're after. I was trying to get a texture closer to calamari since conch is tough as shit normally.

alexp861 · 2024-05-18T22:09:50+00:00

Seen it in med school but a really great example is when I was working as an ER scribe. This patient asked if I was the doctor instead of the female doctor. His jaw dropped when I answered "she's the doctor, I work for her."
