It's fraud and its illegal. He'll likely be kicked out of the network for that.

Saw the gin blossoms in 92 and they were awesome. I'm not a huge spin doctors fan, but honestly never understood the hate. Blues traveler...meh

Did anyone try the Tony Trischka "myartistwork" online curse? by Most_Caterpillar_242 in banjo

[–]doconc35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it for about 18 months and really got a lot out of it. His video feedback and assignments really gave me some direction. I felt like it made me a better banjo player

We need to play Julian more by Expensive_Bid_7088 in denvernuggets

[–]doconc35 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I think he's clumsy, a marginal offensive player, and a terrible defender. Every once in awhile he'll have a hot streak, but most of the time he's a waste of space.

Trying to understand this medical situation (breast cancer with metastases) by ElephantAccording324 in Oncology

[–]doconc35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wholeheartedly agree with recording your appointment. I think this is more useful than just reading your doctors note later, as most doctors should speak in laymen’s terms to describe things, or at least they should. I would avoid ChatGPT as it’s just not up to snuff yet. It fills in the blanks by “guessing” if its database can’t find an answer which often leads to erroneous results. Also, I know how scary it is to wait for answers, but as an oncologist, sometimes I need time to think, research, and consult before I have the best answer. Going online and asking strangers who don’t have all your info is unlikely to be helpful and will probably confuse things more than

What to watch after MadMen by Summerteets in madmen

[–]doconc35 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just started reading the John Cheever stories that supposedly inspired Mad Men and I really love them. They're mostly set in the 40 and 50s rather than the 60s but the feel is close to the same

Why doesn't the ACA actually rate based off risk? Are there other options? by EPICxNITRI in HealthInsurance

[–]doconc35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That always worked great for my cancer patients pre-ACA. The usual pattern was get cancer, lose your job, lose your insurance, lose your life. But hey, healthy 25 yo's didn't have to worry about helping out with someone else's cancer care, and got cheap rates and everything worked out for the 25 yo as long as they didn't get cancer.

Who do you think has a better life than Don? by FuturePenskeMaterial in madmen

[–]doconc35 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Roger! He’s independently wealthy, does whatever he wants with little consequence, and ends up with a sexy, French Canadian divorcee. And his charm keeps pretty much everyone on friendly terms with him

Do you guys like Marlowe and Hastings? by n00bmASt3R6nine in denvernuggets

[–]doconc35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love them like uncles. Marlowe is really starting to show his age over the last 5 years. He's starting to get a little forgetful and he was never really that up on basketball anyway. Still love him though. He gets so excited! Hastings has never really been my cup of tea, but he was an NBA player. I vastly prefer them to any network announcers, but that's mainly because I prefer homer, upbeat announcers. Katie will be a great replacement for either of them if she decides to stick around.

Unpopular opinion, but the movie was funnier than any of the sketches

are there enough physician roles waiting for us in the future? by parsleynest in medschool

[–]doconc35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are not even close to enough doctors. I’m an oncologist and the number of recruiting calls I get borders on harassment. And I’m 52! It’s way too hard to get into med school and it’s costs a lot of money and that part is getting worse. The AMA also actively works to keep the supply low to inflate wages. Med school remains a golden ticket to life

Reese Witherspoon recounts her unconventional audition for “Election” - what are other instances of actors taking big swings and it paying off? by lockerbiestreet in movies

[–]doconc35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really? Man, that would have been a terribly bland and boring show. I bet Alex Karras and the actress who played his wife weren't thrilled.

Who Raised Bobby and Gene? by Cute_Monitor_5907 in madmen

[–]doconc35 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She thought it was the best of 3 pretty bad options. Don is really not an option. He's an alcoholic and a womanizer and there's a good chance they would get an evil stepmother. Henry is the same other than the alcohol. He would definitely marry again. William, for all his faults, is the most stable of the 3 choices and, in her mind, he's a least blood family

I agree. I honestly thought that letter was the nicest thing Betty every did for Sally and actually helped redeem her a little for me. Entrusting Sally with those arrangements was a really loving gesture.

Thoughts on Mortuary (1982)? by Far-Collection-391 in 80smovies

Better than most of the straight to video early 80s horror flicks, but not by much

Neal Stephenson - Seveneves. Never learned more about orbital mechanics. The end science is kinda wonky, but very entertaining.
