It is that time of the year where I scream from the mountain tops… PLEASE get disability insurance before you finish training! This (1) locks in residency discounts, and MORE IMPORTANTLY (2) makes the Guaranteed Standard Issue policy available The GSI goes away shortly after…
Applying to medical school I wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon Now: I am an anesthesiologist (doing regional anesthesia for orthopedic surgeries) Want far off!
Applying to med school: I want to be a psychiatrist Now: training to be a radiologist Who else ended up in a different specialty than they thought?
Not sure how you can argue this isn’t the best hitting performance in a game. Ever. And from a Wake Forest Demon Deacon makes it all the sweeter 🎩
Since RBI became official in 1920, only one MLB player has had, over the course of his entire career (same game or not), a game with 4+ HR a game with 5+ XBH a game with 6+ hits a game with 6+ runs a game with 8+ RBI That one player is Nick Kurtz. He did it all tonight.
NICK KURTZ. 20TH PLAYER IN MLB HISTORY TO HIT 4 HOME RUNS IN A GAME 🔥 6/6 4 HR, 6 R, 8 RBI HISTORIC GAME.
I find it interesting that most people (myself included in the past) who hate on Bitcoin do it because they don’t spend the time to actually study it and understand it. Not because they actually think it’s a terrible concept
Hot take: Bitcoin is more passive and will provide better returns than real estate over the next 10 years
Behavioral finance studies say when odds get to 2:1 most will start taking a bet. This is a 100 to 1 odds (50:1 if you count 50% chance) … but also depends on financial situation. How many doctors are taking red versus green button? #medtwitter
Which button will you press?
Not the time to wait.

It was entirely Dr. Turner's influence that convinced me to get DI now instead of waiting a few years. Don't regret it at all. He and @michael_MMMDI helped explain everything and got me a great, true own-occupation policy that I likely would not have qualified for otherwise.
Today I found out I am likely going to have surgery on the same shoulder I use to intubate patients. And I’m scared. Why? Because I don’t have and can’t get disability insurance after an insurance agent tried to sell me the wrong kind of policy when I was in training. And if…
Not sure who needs to hear this but just because an “advisor” is a CFP and required to have a fiduciary standard does not mean they actually do what is best for their clients … fiduciary sometimes means “well as long as I disclose their options to them what we do is fine.”
Hey baseball fans…. What if I told you that the “tie goes to the runner” concept is actually incorrect? A lot of people still hold to this idea, even in day and age of video replay…. Yet it’s a myth. The tie does not go to the runner.

As someone who grew up with the thought that “a good hand shake tells you a lot about someone” and working during a pandemic where handshakes went away… … it’s been a strange transition back. Some patients clearly expect a handshake. Some clearly don’t. Can be awkward 🤷♂️

Ladies and gentlemen if you had to go all in 1 of these stocks for next 5 years which do you pick? 1. $AMD 2. $SOFI 3. $PLTR 4. $NVDA 5. $META 6. $HOOD 7. $GOOG Or you could just play it “safe” and put it all in the $QQQ next 5 years. Those are your 8 options
Interns - If you e-filed your 2024 tax return and had $0 income, you can proceed with a federal loan consolidation now. Do not delay processing. Select IBR. You can’t get onto RAP yet anyway. $0 payments will count toward PSLF as soon as the consolidation is complete.
One of the coolest mascots in the country comes from the smallest school in the ACC... It's Wake Forest! The Demon Deacons have such a rich history of not only football players, but athletes from every sport! Thank you Coach Dickert and @WakeFB for this awesome box!
The irony of giving a student loan talk to interns the day before this dropped 🤣 Constant need to keep your ear to the ground if you have student loans right now
There's some potentially big student loan news that can't be acted upon yet (w/ the exception of Parent PLUS loan borrowers - see below). But if you’re in med school, residency, or holding a pile of federal loans, you'll probably want to hear what's going on. 1 minute read 👇
