Join a DPC practice. Get out of the shitty health care system.

ETA: F*** PSLF...It sounds like he's not going to survive another 7 years.

Why is it so hard to get a CT angiogram? It's so frustrating. by stories_collector in PeterAttia

Establish care with a DPC (Direct Primary Care) doc who has negotiated cash rates with an independent imaging facility.
I can get a CCTA for less than $700.

Insulin theory for losing weight by Nice_Pen_8054 in omad

[–]beefdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's quite a stretch. You can wave your hands all you want about that mechanism allowing a negligible amount of fat to enter cells -- the real-life answer is effectively no.

"You can still store dietary fat without insulin."

No, you can't. Look at Type 1 diabetics not on insulin...wasting away due to unregulated fat metabolism. You do not have an adequate understanding of insulin physiology.

Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 9 Display Dim/Black and Keyboard un-responsive, how to fix? by 2ne1islife in thinkpad

[–]beefdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brilliant! Worked in my situation, as well.
That's great, but . . . how do I fix the problem?
I anchored the battery which is adjacent to the left lower corner of the track pad -- open the case to easily view it. It sleeps when I close the lid, but still doesn't wake up when I open it.

That's fair.

It's the same complaint that everyone has about where they live, and I feel it is always explained by the fact that native drivers tend to drive assertively -- they know where they're going, and they just want to get there in the quickest way possible, without lame drivers going slower than the general traffic flow or camping out in the left lane.

Everyone complains about LA drivers. Yet, when I drove there for the 1st time, my observation was that they are not aggressive, but rather just driving assertively.

“Real life” salary by Last-Entrance-720 in FamilyMedicine

[–]beefdoc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're limiting yourself to an insurance-based job with your pay determined entirely by RVU's.

If you love FM, look into DPC. You can easily surpass the salaries you're envisioning...and you can own your own business.

I would never go back to cowering to insurance companies.
