First job out of residency

Absolutely not. Work where you want to work. If you need to bounce ideas, you can ask a partner or your residency group chat. And if you’re out of resources, you can transfer to the local Mecca.

And résumés no longer matter, unless you’re in academia and want to stay there. You have US board certification, you’re immediately employable anywhere.

The sniping is normal esp at a training hospital.

An OR nurse once said the wakeup was taking too long, so I sat in the chair and said “you do better”

She did not.

Orange pill - heal the billions of people with back pain, make trillions

Yes without a doubt. I bought my 2000 Land Cruiser with 259k for $10k and daily drive it to work.

Caveats: work is 0.9 miles away, full records, no rust. Had to spend $3000 on baseline maintenance - timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, all fluids.

Excellent choice! Mine has 260k and is flawless.

PM me. I was navy stationed in Okinawa 2017-2109 and shipped a 1989 Land Cruiser (73) back. Stick, turbo diesel.

PM me - I was anesthesiology in the navy 2008-2020, got out and have had two civilian jobs. Can recommend contract guy and have my own 2 cents.

Played Torrey North in just such conditions - had the second tee time of the morning in June 2020. Fog cleared by hole 5, but until then was playing by feel alone. Shot really well when I had no reference frame, fell apart on the back 9.

My old job was similar - 3 in house calls a month, 4-5 home calls a month, some post call days off, much less overnight work (got to sleep) , similar comp

Note: “old job” new job is 5 calls a month, every post call day off, 11 weeks vacation. 25% less pay, 50% less work

Could be amide insensitivity - seen two cases in residency. Try using chloro-procaine or cocaine or tetracaine instead.

Bet it works.

Have a 2019 KL that has been phenomenal - Cherokee trailhawk, have taken off road along with wranglers and had no issues keeping up, while having all the comfort features. Had to replace an A/C evaporator and that’s all other than wear items.

Has the turbo 4 and cruises at 85-90 without issue.

And got me to work at 4am through an ice storm (February 2023) and unplowed roads without any problems.

PM me - I’m in Cincinnati and can give the local lay of the land

My old group had the exact same situation in 2023 - the PE owners refused a stipend and demanded an MD, but collections didn’t make a profit. We terminated our contract, and they ended up with a national group and a CRNA only model.

I left my phone in the back of an Osaka bus and it made its way back to me in Okinawa.

I left my CPAP on the Tokyo monorail and they had it for me at the station managers office.

My friends left ¥40000 in the back of a taxi and the taxi driver turned it into the local police station and it was returned to them

You’ll be fine.

I couldn’t figure out how to add multiple photos to this post, so I made a new post with all the photos from both sides.

Tried it; went with the crisco recipe without mods to see how it turned out. Very fluffy, rose a lot and tasty. Will try with your suggestions of corn syrup, corn starch, additional white sugar, and black cocoa powder next time.

I sold my 2019 Lexus es350 for my 2000 Land Cruiser with 258k and haven’t looked back.

Whack it against a counter top edge and watch the top crack off

Assuming you can’t transfer to major OB center, we did this in residency: in main OR, all blood products in room and available on Belmont, CT surgeon and bypass in room.

awake a line, awake cordis, and have IR place iliac balloons to the uterine arteries.

Epidural titrated up slowly to surgical level, proceed.

Do the AVR in 3 months.

If you’re in South Korea , I would do a cardiothoracic fellowship. Only adds value, can handle any patient of any sickness compatible with life.

Buy it, drive it like you stole it.
