Ok, dearest physicians - let me hold your hand.

Stop being ashamed to make a lot of money. Some of you need serious therapy.

You’ve got a ~$500K direct investment in your education alone. But that’s just the start. You sacrificed 4–12 years of capital compounding - not just wages, but lost profits across every asset class.

Your profession chose delayed gratification, not no gratification.
The average American would be shocked: physicians make ~$386K/year on average. Hospital CEOs? ~$1.1M.

Scarcity mindset is real. When it shows up as hostility toward your fair compensation (on your terms), just observe it, label it, and move on. Don’t let it into your cognitive map.

You’re valuable. Your skill and training literally back economies. Wake up. You deserve to be paid for your education, your deferred capital participation, and your production.

@mchpdax So sorry you’re going through that! Maybe you could discuss Verapamil as a preventative? Also, neuromodulation could be an option; the GammaCore device has been approved for use in cluster headache. I hope this helps! 💛

@mchpdax Do you have a neurologist or headache specialist managing your migraine?
