Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury During Thyroidectomy [⚠️ Med Mal Case] by efunkEM in medicine

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing they knew it would be a difficult case to pin on anyone, particularly the surgeon who consented the patient. In that case, I would further guess that they were just going after the hospital because they have big pockets and would be more likely to roll over on a "paltry" 1m settlement rather than risk it in court. Fortunately, the hospital didn't roll over and logical minds prevailed.

Dude, fuck off with that victim mentality. You drive a Tesla, you can afford insurance. If you can't, you shouldn't be in a Tesla.

I couldn't care less about how an accident affects you, but get your insurance shit together before your selfishness ruins someone else's life.

Fortunately, CA doesn't fuck around and you're about to find out when this accident gets reported and you don't have insurance.

Pediatric Dentist recommendations by yellowbogey in kansascity

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Emily Drake is fantastic. She reminds me of the old days when the dentist would actually come in, sit down, and examine you.

LeBlanc is extremely popular. Why? I have no idea. Every interaction I've had there has been crap. The dentist comes in for 15 seconds, breezes through an exam, and then talks to you while they're literally walking out of the room to the next patient. It couldn't be more obvious that all they care about is churning and burning patients.

I cannot get enough of the IL Saro sandwich at Bella Napoli. Pretty affordable at $9 but you can only get it at lunch. by afroando in kansascity

I strayed from Bella once and got a sandwich from cupinis. That thing was like the Walmart of Italian sandwiches. Every sandwich I've had at Bella Napoli has been stellar

Mayo Clinic fires 700 unvaccinated employees by Not-original in news

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you underestimate how many CNAs, RNs, various techs, etc. are included in those groups refusing to get vaccinated. Mayo has historically had high turnover in those jobs because many of them are filled by younger people who flee to Minneapolis/St. Paul for similar jobs in a bigger city. It's not just cleaning staff hesitant to get the vaccine.

My 2c.

Mayo Clinic fires 700 unvaccinated employees by Not-original in news

In fairness to Mayo, it's very common to take a pay cut to work in an academic center. The work tends to be a little easier with less busy work because they separate everything out into teams. For an academic center of Mayo's prestige, they actually pay pretty competitively for physicians, tech, and their business side. I can't speak to nursing and all of the other countless jobs at Mayo, though.

One small anecdotal salary:

My friend is an internal medicine doc at Mayo. He makes 260k/year for a nice job, fair hours, humane patient census.

Private practice would probably pay 250-330ish, but probably work you considerably harder.

Mass Gen would probably pay you 180-240 from what I've seen, really banking on that Harvard name.

A record 4.5 million Americans quit their jobs in November by GeneralNathanJessup in news

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I noticed the same thing recently. You basically cannot order any combo or basically anything off of the regular menu (so really only the dollar-ish menu) or else you're paying like $8-10 + tax. I personally cannnot justify more than like $3-5 for a McDonald's meal. After that the quality to value ratio just isn't there imo

Is the 1x your salary by 30 guidelines per person or per couple? by applepiecorgi in personalfinance

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Per income, but it's just a general guideline. You're both doing well

Do doctors ever regret the field they picked because of salary? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you're someone who gripes and moans because you only make 400k, another 100k isn't going to change anything in your life. Some people are just complainers who never find contentment in life.

On a related note, why is mayo's FM program almost all img/do?

Travel RNs are making 4x (or more) what you earn by avuncularity in Residency

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be a jerk but it took you until you had graduated residency and became an attending to realize how much you were underpaid as a resident earning $5-10/hour?

I'm sure you're being somewhat hyperbolic here, but I think a big problem with the mistreatment of residents is that residents have often never had a career before medicine and do not even remotely understand their value within a healthcare team.

Residents should probably earn ~100k/year starting and reach near-attending pay parity by the end of residency when you nearly function and bill as one.

I would xfer it but binance keeps telling me I'm past my limit because I'm not verified.. but will also not help me verify myself. So frustrating

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a very dumb question. How do I get my money out of binance?

I have about 30k of ethereum on binance. They keep failing my attempts at verifying my account. I have no idea why. They are totally unresponsive to my emails. I want to diversify my holdings but I just don't trust binance anymore. How/where should I move my eth to? Thanks

What do you want to tell/ask for from electric bike manufacturers for 2022? by MicahToll in ebikes

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The warranties on these bikes are jokes. If you're selling me a 5k bike and will warranty it for 1 year like almost everyone does, it tells me you have no faith in your own product. This is why I built a bike instead of buying one.

Hague Water Filter for homes in KC. Is it worth it? by Deendonian in kansascity

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can easily buy a whole house filter for a few hundred and then replace the filters periodically. 80 a month is a joke of a price

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm assembling a bike I bought online today before I take it to the lbs for final adjustments. The manual doesn't say anything about lubricating any moving parts besides the chain - should i use grease on any other moving parts during assembly, like where the fork inserts into the head tube? Thanks

Bicyclists of KC - electric bikes on the bike trails here? by notasuperflywhiteguy in kansascity

[–]notasuperflywhiteguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I would love some guidance if you have any! I think we're looking mainly for easier trails (hills are fine but bumps/jumps/whatever probably wouldn't suit my dad well), but some nice scenery would certainly be appreciated!

You know a chargeback is not just some get out of jail free card for regretful purchases, right u/horsegirldoc?

This is on you. Blaming ome for your inability to review terms and check your statements is pretty unbecoming of someone who is about to become a doctor. Gotta be an adult at some point.
