@VishChess @MitchFabian Thoughts on the course?

@CShahMD @Icro_Meattini Dr. Shah, would you be comfortable offering this for patients with invasive lobular? Otherwise suitable candidate by ASTRO guidelines.

@SchuckTales Moved on, but would like to get back to writing on a non-regular basis at some point in the future.

@Surgeon4aCure @CghGzh Street smarts

It’s laughable when some doctors say “I could have made way more money working on Wall Street or BigLaw”

[White Coat Investor @WCInvestor]

I wonder how much of this is “Medicine sucks” vs “These docs have never had another 6 figure job, most of which also suck in their own way.”

[WallStreetPhysician @WallStPhysician]

@Surgeon4aCure @CghGzh Different skill set.

@RogueDadMD @WCInvestor Enjoyed the podcast. Unfortunately won’t be able to hear your talk on second victim syndrome.

@Marty_Shrkeli Depending on your perspective, you either got the other side of the story or Vietnamese communist propaganda — in Hanoi they show a different portrayal of McCain’s living conditions at the “Hanoi Hilton” than what the Americans say he experienced...

@TSuperheroine @DLBakerMD @somedocs @AgnesSolberg @drcorysfawcett @vmangona @MinimalMD @FrugalPhysician @PhysicianOnFIRE @TPP_MD @PhysicianZen @DrMcfrugal @PivotPointsMD @WCInvestor Write more blog posts than I did in 2019 (two).

@PhysicianOnFIRE Not sure — maybe most of the psychological benefit of giving is from the altruism itself. Just commenting on a post with your favorite charity doesn’t require much altruism.

[WallStreetPhysician @WallStPhysician]

@BTBLegalEsq Yes, I regularly listen to the @WCInvestor podcast. Even wrote a guest post on his blog back in the day. https://t.co/Uf8l7vgwDf

@PhysicianZen @drcorysfawcett @DocGDiverseFI @SemiRetiredMD @wealthymommd @DrMcfrugal @crispydocblog @LifeofMedstudnt @smartmoneymd Thanks for putting this together.

@WCInvestor Depends on cost of treatment, too. NNT threshold for a two-figure PSA test or a three-figure mammogram higher than 6-figure chemotherapy regimens. Hence the QALY metric.

[WallStreetPhysician @WallStPhysician]

@WCInvestor It’s all about the QALY. Cost-effectiveness analyses traditionally consider $50,000/QALY gained as a cost-effective treatment. But these analyses rarely used by physicians (lack of knowledge about costs of care) or payers (“death panel” politics)

Of course, the likely outcome is that the judges would have better investment returns if forced to simply buy index funds. https://t.co/GZ9lhYoIY1

@paperlevel Looks good to me. Important to stick with your asset allocation for the long-term and not get swayed by short-term outperformers.

For Medical School, Would You Go To A More Prestigious Private School or A Less Expensive Public School? https://t.co/jawgL8RZ23
