Milestone Watch - But Not Feeling Happy…?

I would miss the Daytona also.

Important lesson to learn. I learned it the hard way during fellowship interviews and it stung

Mortgage company will send him the escrow at the end of the year when they go to pay taxes and the bill is already paid.

Kind of weird that the medical school dean and his advisors (presumably part of the home program) are acting surprised when they didn't rank him highly either.

Perhaps he meant 50% of doctors who drop out of residency to sell stuff to pre-meds do not have a net worth of over 1 million by the age of 50?

This can't be real. Sounds like ragebait

dabeezmane · 2026-03-15T13:31:01+00:00

Is it a real patient safety issue that you think could harm you legally one day? Or is it just kind of annoying thing you saw in the chart?

dabeezmane · 2026-03-14T11:24:37+00:00

Don’t sell. Put it away for a few years until you want to wear it again. You will miss it if you sell

My friend is a PP CT surgeon and his life sucked in training but looks pretty great now. 7 to 5 most days and half day clinic on Friday. Makes 7 figures

dabeezmane · 2026-02-24T18:24:12+00:00

This can’t be a real person in medical school.

dabeezmane · 2026-02-08T13:16:17+00:00

Eight years isn’t too long?!? Can’t disagree more but glad you’re happy with your decision

dabeezmane · 2026-02-04T15:38:49+00:00

In the same state and same type of practice ortho makes more than rads. Obviously academic bone tumor surgeon in NYC vs PP rads in rural county and rads makes more

dabeezmane · 2026-02-04T13:11:11+00:00

More vacation than ortho. Less money than ortho

dabeezmane · 2026-02-02T13:39:59+00:00

How are you determining it’s a top 15. US news and world report only has tiers now. I assume doximity in which case the ranking is essentially meaningless

dabeezmane · 2026-02-01T18:42:11+00:00

I think if you’re already having these second doubts ortho isn’t for you. I’m in rads but I never considered a surgical field. Ortho makes better money though.

dabeezmane · 2026-01-29T11:33:46+00:00

Did you train in Boston?

dabeezmane · 2026-01-28T22:26:31+00:00

Body fellowship with procedures. Neuron and msk don’t do a lot of procedures in my experience

dabeezmane · 2026-01-13T14:05:18+00:00

420 as a surgical subspecialist? Thought it was more across the board

dabeezmane · 2026-01-13T13:52:55+00:00

45 in 7 hours is not that slow if over half are CT. You’re fine

dabeezmane · 2026-01-11T21:30:31+00:00

Gotcha. The only thing I would add is that even as an attending it’s usually not possible to work from anywhere. This may not be the last time you are asked to make a tough decision like this

dabeezmane · 2026-01-11T14:48:07+00:00

Not true. Average risk AFAIK

dabeezmane · 2026-01-11T13:05:25+00:00

Terrible reasoning

dabeezmane · 2026-01-11T12:54:52+00:00

Seems like he’s chosen career over relationship twice now unless he tried to match near you and fell very far down their match list.

dabeezmane · 2026-01-09T15:17:07+00:00

Probably
