@olive_liz Agreed it can cut both ways. Not to mention the added challenges of a dual physician household with or without a long-distance component! Just like our patients, every family situation has unique needs. Implementing policies to solve the common scenarios is a great start though.

@CaseySeidemanMD That's it. You can do it all online with https://t.co/RnWw7tHJ9Q that can search any form you need, add it to your submission, and does basic math for you. Can e-file through the site at no cost.

Software and CPAs are convenient, but it's nice to know how the sausage is made!

@CaseySeidemanMD -1040 base form
-Schedule A if you want to itemize your deductions (eg mortgage interest + state income tax)
-Schedule 1 for your 1099 income
-Schedule 2 + Form 8959 for additional taxes and additional Medicare owed
-Form 8086 if you happen to employ a backdoor Roth IRA

@andrew_duchesne @VMUrology @amykupra @AbiRajasegaran The mountain was definitely out today! Cute guy!

[Ron Ron Cheng, MD @RonRonChengMD]

Great time chatting with applicants yesterday for @VMUrology, both new and familiar faces! @amykupra @AbiRajasegaran @andrew_duchesne.

Fantastic day on the mountain 🎿🏔️

Short hike up to Teneriffe Falls this am 🏞️

[Ron Ron Cheng, MD @RonRonChengMD]

Looking forward to chatting with applicants interviewing with @VMUrology today 😀

@jkfrankel @jkfrankel is a great addition to the department and will prove a strong asset in service of resident training. Kudos!

@MarissaFalk Let she who has never wafted someone else's urine pass the first stone.

@shanchukMD @eric_ghiraldi Are you counting BMR during that time? I would think you'd lose more water weight from lead-sweat than calories burned from thumb work, wrist extension/flexion, and plantarflexion for the laser.

Treating myself on call after two consecutive OR days without a proper lunch meal. 😁🌯💛

[Ron Ron Cheng, MD @RonRonChengMD]

Today I logged my 500th case since starting my R2 year @VMUrology last November. 🎉

Great time to reflect on a wonderful journey thus far and how blessed I was to be welcomed to the program by @KKseattle @Dr_UnaLee @Twillfull @Mrwailee @jkfrankel @awstamm @RPDonahue et al 😁✌️

[Ron Ron Cheng, MD @RonRonChengMD]

Love is my spouse instituting a study hour for both of us while I'm on home call. She is a paragon of a physician-to-physician partner 👩‍⚕️❤️

@TPKohn @mvalovska Who is this Frank, and why do people keep referencing his blood?!!

[Ron Ron Cheng, MD @RonRonChengMD]

@amykupra @AbiRajasegaran @Stan_JMoore Great chatting with y'all on the @VMUrology call today! Feel free to reach out any time to chat about VM, Urology, residency in general, or life stuff. I have varying levels of experience with all of the above 😎

[Ron Ron Cheng, MD @RonRonChengMD]

@michelinastodd1 @WCMUrology Ironically, "Female Urologists," (i.e. FPRMS) are in high demand, from talking with recent grads. To your point, I have awesome role models in @KKseattle & @Dr_UnaLee @VMUrology. Both happen to have great kids too. As my surgeon wife says, "If it's not hard, it's not worth it!"

@betsykoehne We had the same result trying the AR overlay in video chat on our dog. Very disappointing indeed. But I wonder what facial feature(s) could be "augmented" to trick the facial recognition algorithm? 🤔

Maybe putting on one of those glasses-nose-mustache joke props would do it!
