Idea
Gonna become a big baseball guy this year. Go to 20 games. I’ll check scores, standings, stats, really keep up with it. Then fly to whatever city is hosting the elimination game of the World Series and pretend I’ve always been a fan.

In anesthesia you’re exposed to hundreds of surgeons throughout your training and career.
A hill I’ll die on is that the best surgeons came from workhorse community hospitals, not ivory tower institutions.
The notion that your doctor's training is an indicator of their skill is a fallacy. There is no medical school, residency or fellowship that always produces flawless doctors. Any graduate of any training program is capable of making mistakes. I've seen big saves and huge errors in doctors from Harvard. Also seen big saves and enormous errors in community docs who trained miles from Ivy league hospitals outside the US.

Asking women on a dates and inviting them back to my place for wine but instead of anything romantic I begin conducting a full-scale interior design consultation of my new home.
In residency one of my attendings told me he only knows like 5 doctors that have ever paid out of pocket for a lawsuit
but half he knows lost half their net worth in divorce.
Every male doctor i serve makes 500,000,000,000 a year doing heart valve surgery and has to buy his beer with crumpled up ones because he’s in the middle of a turbo divorce and his wife is watching his beer expenditure
Meet so many people here on vacation/traveling who say “ah, back to the real world soon” “so depressing” etc etc
Can’t relate I love my job and my life and when I return it’s another Americana summer
