@NYCMayor Tisha B’av is not about resiliency. It is about mourning the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. And mourning how wherever we go people hate and persecute us.
@KAHALA123Y@Read_Meee I feel like a text is not personal enough. So I wait until I have time to call. A call after work is perfectly normal and acceptable
@TheSalonDon I think that a lot of people downplay the risks of SSRIs in pregnancy. If a mom needs it to get through, so be it. But a lot of these babies end up coming to the NICU and some even get intubated because they don’t have a lot of respiratory drive.
@KadeWrath@onlyCFrancisco Most don’t! Babies brains are incredibly resilient and with proper resuscitation they usually do really well!! Sometimes when there is a severe or prolonged injury they can develop brain damage but we see babies come out “down” every day and most do great!
@cassbeewrites@ButchHades I mean what did you think “why did we build the wall” is about. Hadestown is obviously a maga show. Didn’t you realize that Hades is the protagonist?
@LishiBaker@CUJewsIsraelis@Columbia I mean can’t you submit other Jewish events though? If it gets to the yearbook and the only Jewish representation is the encampments, that is a problem. But this just feels like making a mountain out of one dumb student who wrote this form.
No one is saying doctors are poor or that they should be pitied. The point is that bedside medicine does not compete against the average American salary. It competes against the other things highly trained people could do with the same time, skill, intelligence, work ethic, and tolerance for stress.
A lot of doctors could make similar take home income doing far less clinical work, or no clinical work at all. Some can make excellent money in medicolegal consulting, device work, industry advising, health tech, expert witness work, locums, or administrative roles. In some cases, a doctor can generate income comparable to a salaried W2 job with a relatively small amount of self employed consulting time each week, while also getting more control over schedule, fewer nights, fewer weekends, less liability exposure, and more time with family.
That matters. Because the question is not just whether a doctor’s gross income sounds high to someone on the internet. The real question is what it takes to keep someone doing a job that involves years of delayed earnings, heavy training costs, call, sleep disruption, lawsuits, missed holidays, missed kids’ events, and life or death responsibility.
That is not a victim complex. It’s called opportunity cost. And if you underpay the hardest forms of clinical work relative to the alternatives, people will rationally do less of it.
@DocDifferently Wow the hate you are getting on this post is insane. This is why the smartest and best are starting to avoid medicine. Society hates us. Underpaid for the hours and training and investment we put in. Makes me sick.
Brace yourself for the Ja trade & bad return. Don’t freak out. Under no scenario are you going to be happy with what comes back in a Morant deal so just get your minds right.
Jaren Jackson Jr came to the Grizzlies at the end of an era.
From an injury prone player benched in March Madness, to a DPOY that struck fear in the heart of other stars with his stifling blocks.
Became one of three pillars for the new generation.
I’m truly sad right now.
Deni Avdija says he’s fed up with the hate he receives for being from Israel, calls out the lack of education on the topic, and demands respect, saying those outside the Middle East shouldn’t speak on it
“You don’t have to love what I stand for or how I look, but if I’m a good player, give props. All this hate … for no reason. Like, I’m deciding things in the world. I’ll be honest: What do people expect me to do? This is my country, where I was born, where I grew up. I love my country; there are a lot of great things about my country. But obviously, not everyone is educated and knows what is going on, and that’s what pisses me off. Because if you are educated and know what is going on, it’s fine to say what you think and say who you think is right or wrong. But if you are not educated and you are not part of the Middle East, and you don’t understand how long this goes back and understand the consequences and everything … just don’t say anything.”
