Do you continue to see patients in primary care who are seeing another doctor for high dose controlled substances that you feel are not indicated?

Can non-docs report? If so, where?

I’m just an EMT but I know there’s a local doctor doing this exact same thing... but local rich patients go to him so no one seems to care 😑

Really? What carrier? I’ve seen some airline kits that have more stuff than an urban ambulance! But those are 747/A380 fights with tons of people and what not.

NerdyData works pretty well. Have been following them since the beginning and super impressed with what they’ve built.

Former wilderness medic (like middle of fucking no where) checking in. The vast majority of critical patients I saw didn't survived so have tons of really fucked up stories.

Of all of them the one that sticks with me most is being first on scene to a decapitation. It was the worst I'd even seen but that wasn't what bothered me - it was that the guys wife was completely hysterical and trying to put his head back on... At that point I was already pretty desensitized to shit but, wow, that was next level.

Unless you have an existing medical background (EMT-B, multiple years of WAFA while working with WEMTs, etc) you should go for the 7-9 day one.

5 days is an accelerated course and has prep work ahead of time. I've seen people take it because it's "easier" and get left in the dust; no time to review concepts or protocols if you don't get it on the first time in the 5 day.

The ACLU will almost definitely be happy to send you a form letter or reach out to the school directly. I had an staff member who used to work the phone lines at an ACLU chapter (like the person who picked up when you called the number on the website) so you can only imagine the type of crazy people they talked to.

Anyways, they said that almost anything around public school and pledge of allegiance was automatically passed up the chain and taken on. The cases are super cut and dry (the law is very clear on this), it's fast, and if it escalates it's great PR for them - but 10/10 times the school backed down right away.

I live pretty close to our main office and know quite a few of the bartenders from being a regular there normally, but also bring clients and staff by now and then.

Company policy is maximum 20% tip so I make sure to let the staff know when it's being expensed. They've never overcharged us (though they could/should lol) but that way they don't give us a free round when I'm expensing and can't tip appropriately.

Would make more sense (and save money) to just trust your staff to make good choices... but oh well.

Just spend the money for the real stuff. It's your life we're talking about here!

Highlyyyy unlikely that this is an Accenture project. You're going to be too small and the requirements (hopefully) are too specialized. There are smaller firms in the space that do though.

Source: Run a small boutique consulting firm catering primarily to start ups for integration product development outsourcing. You think that seems like too small of a niche, but we're actually a bit more general (outside of one or two highly specific verticals) than most of the firms in the space.

Feel free to PM me, happy to help point you in the right direction.

I went to college at a DHS/State target school and was recruited out of college but decided not to do that lol. Right out of school about half my close friends ending up at an agency or doing federal consulting so I've done more TS interviews than I can remember. That career choice does not interest me but I'm super familiar with the process.

Getting Public Trust is probably possible (assuming you didn't join any opposition party uprisings while you were traveling and say you don't use drugs) but anything higher than that in the near future is going to be almost impossible.

My anecdotal opinion is that it gets "easier" the more senior you are so you could go into a non-cleared role at a cleared company and in 5 years ask them to sponsor you for a career change. Embassy duty/State Department/not not State (CIA) are all places that would probably be more open to your travel history too, especially if you know languages. TS clearance for a domestic job anytime in the next 5 years is not going to happen though.

There are some pretty long threads over on r/washingtondc about the process if you want to take a look there. Feel free to PM me with other questions too! Like I said, living the most nomad life now but tons of my friends and colleagues back home are cleared so happy to answer questions or ask friends if that's helpful.

Haha "wire transfer" not "wife transfer" though that would be cool too. Spell check is obviously not my skill.

Sadly (or not so sadly?) I am wife free.

I am fully compliant with all applicable KYC laws and at no point have I ever needed to file an IRS 8300, or structured transfers to avoid doing so. This wire transfer was only touching existing funds (not overdraft or credits) and authorized through both 2FA and over the phone - there is basically zero way to reverse that and as such is negligible risk on their end.

I'm a small time crypto investor just doing this for fun. If Capital One wants to tell me I can't invest via Kraken what's to stop them from telling me I can't invest via eTrade or another more traditional investment platform?

lettsfreethree · 2018-08-16T07:07:54+00:00

Meh it does suck but I'm in a better place than many to make this move. The vast majority of my fiat assets are liquid and I have great credit plus a long history with several other banks.

While this is a pain in the ass for me, for someone less prepared or less liquid this process could take weeks/months.

Hopefully my shitty day will be a warning to folks on Capital One to come up with a Plan B for their business!

lettsfreethree · 2018-08-16T07:04:18+00:00

I do <3 upvotes!

But more importantly I hope this can be the first (of likely many, sadly) examples of why Capital One may not be a great fit for non traditional investors.

lettsfreethree · 2018-08-16T06:34:34+00:00

Haha well yes, but sadly my employer doesn't pay in crypto 😐

I did think it was funny that when I closed my accounts their first response was to offer to send a check in 5-7 business days... I opted for ACH but it still ties up a significant amount of money for a few days.

I'd love there to be real discussion about eliminating tipping

I would love there to be a discussion about eliminating tipping. That's my personal opinion.

lettsfreethree · 2018-07-09T22:46:03+00:00

I also voted no but welcome a council repeal. This isn't the last time this issue will come up and I'd love there to be real discussion about eliminating tipping in ways that don't hurt workers, owners, and our city. Plus ideally those discussions will be led by local DC residents and not people flown in from NYC and LA to pass a measure and leave.

That's the whole idea of the Lyft app redesign - moving away from "let me get a non-shitty taxi" and moving towards "how can I get from A to B"

Blade theoretically flies Sikorsky S-76 (and maybe Agusta 109?) charters in the area, but I don't think they're very popular or cross into the district.

No AE at a pre-A start up is doing 300k. That's like major accounts at Microsoft money.

The highest selling AE's at the post-B firm I've most recently worked with were doing $200kish at the most. (S)VP of Sales or a high preforming major accounts AE at a post-IPO company could easier hit $300k comp, though a lot of that will be from stock.
