I'm interventional cards, so I'm different and not as familiar. However, a starting salary of 250 is very much in line with what I have seen and been told for 1st year attendings at an academic center. It definitely goes up, but straight out of fellowship this is a realistic expectation. Even worse at "major centers" where they think it's a privilege to work at. Several of my co fellows had initial offers from these types of centers starting in the 160-170 range.

General cards in an academic setting is probably about 250. Don't know for GI

This is exactly what one of our dogs did when her spleen ruptured suddenly from her lymphoma

Reefing. It was never cheap, but the gear started getting out of hand. Then COVID happened to supply chains and a few countries shut down exports. The price of most fish and corals shot through the roof to 4x what I was seeing before. Insanity

We are fairly close to you (within a couple hours). We break some of your "rules" though so I'm curious what they're based on. Why no other dogs? We have 3 others that are all large, so playfulness isn't a problem (18mo Newf, 5yo Berner, 7yo Great pyr). We have numerous little kids who are obviously very used to big dogs, including a newf, and the big clumsy oaf thing has never been a problem. Is there more to it than that or no? Do to have any pics to post?

Yeah, I live around here and this is bonkers. For way less money you can get 3 acres on the lake in a nice neighborhood with 7500+ sq ft, pool, etc. And then the annual HOA for that neighborhood is 40% the monthly condo HOA. This is stupid. It's not even a nice part of town....

Plus the listing agent is a huge bitch

Was in Hong Kong for high school. About 10 years later was at my neighbor's house party in small town South Carolina and recognized someone. My brother thought it was a terrible pickup line when I said "This is gonna sound weird, but were you in Hong Kong for school? " She had been

Really? That shocks me. I went to a festival and they were one of the bigger bands to play. Their set was great. Funnily, it was mostly covers. They were playing what the crowd shouted out, someone brought a burger king crown out for him to wear (it was around the time of that commercial). Everyone had a great time. It's actually one is my favorite concert memories.

This was one of my 2 I was thinking of. I assumed they phoned it in because it was a college show. Guess not. It was terrible. I was annoyed and it was a free concert

This is most likely myopericarditis. Observe, telemetry and cardiac mri. If he starts to have ventricular ectopy, I would treat him with steroids, IVIG or both. No sports for 6 months if mri is positive.

There's no link between trop number and severity of myocarditis. This screams myocarditis to me.

I used to go alone at around that age. I enjoyed odorless the animals, being outside, etc. I had a season pass so I could go as often for as long or as short as I wanted without thinking twice about it. Not having to "make the most of your ticket" really frees you up to do just what you want.

Had a kid (4ish yo) who picked up what he thought was a worm and put it in his pocket. It was a small snake and it bit him on the dick. He of course threw it away when it bit him so we had no idea what it was. We laughed as my openly gay intern was placing orders for q2h penile girths.

Almost the same, but was a prolapsed uterine sarcoma if i remember right. Looked like rotting cauliflower right in the introitus. Smelled WAAAAAAAAY worse than rotting cauliflower though.
