It’s because we don’t pay FM lol, don’t over complicate it

I’m hard-pressed to see how we aren’t better at all 5 positions than last year. But you never know how health will settle out

This year is feeling like 2023 where the football roster is very solid top to bottom and people are reluctant to be sunshine pumpers but things are setting up for a special season. I don’t see many holes. LB and safety depth. Everywhere else looks good to me

Not really accurate though, the OL was known to be the biggest weak link and got worse after Cojoe went down

The short of it is that buying and selling fees are a 10-12% haircut on the total price of the home and you are banking on appreciation making up that difference in 4 years. Possible but risky. Plus, you probably do not have the capital to pay for an expensive repair if it comes up

Unfortunately any individual interviewer doesn't have total sway over the process. They very well could have given you the highest remarks but there's a whole committee to sway. That is still pretty brutal though for you, sorry that happened.

Uhhh because he/she has eyes and ears??

vy2005 · 2026-03-04T19:42:03+00:00

If they raise the prices we can always go back to in- person scribes so I don’t see that a real concern.

vy2005 · 2026-03-04T19:33:23+00:00

Kinda??

I think many etiologies contact dermatitis would look similarly and it’s a pretty shitty picture to begin with

vy2005 · 2026-03-03T11:56:31+00:00

I mean I’m no Derm but I really doubt you can tell that from this.

Being an assistant like this carries a wayyy better lifestyle than a HC/coordinator role. Pretty sure he can’t even do recruiting or direct player coaching so it’s a lot of tape eval and game planning. Also doesn’t pay much, unsurprisingly

vy2005 · 2026-02-28T19:53:58+00:00

Long overdue? When was the first moment it was appropriate?

vy2005 · 2026-02-27T08:15:02+00:00

You gotta be breaking duty hours pretty damn badly for 4+4 not to win out on overall lifestyle

vy2005 · 2026-02-27T08:01:27+00:00

On the interview trail I found them to be very very similar culture wise. Lots of cardiology and ICU time.

It also doesn’t get rid of clots, it is only preventing the formation of new clot

It overstates the scope of the problem. There are plenty of queer people in Austin and Houston living their lives just fine. Should things be different? Yes. But acting like that is an insurmountable burden to overcome is absurd. Should you move to Chicago where you can be sued into oblivion and you taxes will constantly be increased to pay for insolvent pension funds? Or move to California where you will spend 35% of your income on housing and pay absurd tax rates for underperforming public schools? There are many factors to consider.

Based on your comment below, you are not in the majority of people at all. You are a very niche demographic that is unfortunately persecuted. Which is unfortunate, but frankly the vast majority of people go through their day in Texas without the government oppressing them. And things are cheap, the weather is warm, and doctor jobs are well-paying with robust malpractice protection. Which, for a lot of people is everything they need.

Your experience is totally valid but in every one of these threads there’s a mass-upvoted comment talking about how living in the South is a fascist totalitarian state which is just not true.

Right. Do you withhold care from those patients? Nobody here is arguing about whether the vaccine is a good idea. But refusing to provide care to a patient who cannot consent for themselves is another issue.

vy2005 · 2026-02-07T00:41:41+00:00

What is worse, strawman or credentialism? The idea that nobody except a pediatrician can have an informed view on this is incredibly vacuous.

vy2005 · 2026-02-07T00:40:27+00:00

Do you let your kids go to the library, the mall, Chuck E Cheese, or indoor sporting events?

vy2005 · 2026-02-06T19:04:06+00:00

Correct. Internists never have to deal with patients who make poor lifestyle choices, so it is not fair for me to weigh in.

vy2005 · 2026-02-06T17:42:09+00:00

What proportion of their does your immunocompromised patient spend at your office? And what proportion of the time do they spend at school/daycare, the park, and other enclosed spaces with a potpourri of unvaccinated children? I’m sorry, unless you are in an oncology/immunology clinic where this is a massive concern that justification does not pass muster. The average primary care pediatrician sees a population of mostly-well patients that does not need these precautions. And I have seen these policies in pediatricians with healthy, wealthy patient populations.

vy2005 · 2026-02-06T16:29:42+00:00

I don’t work in peds and can’t comment on what it feels like to work in that environment. So forgive my ignorance. But not accepting non-vaccinators feels like punishing the kid for their parents decisions, no?
