Hanging out in the ER Vomitorium

She was young during the McCarthy hearings but old enough to understand the ongoing issues

But my dad was icbm nuclear missile launch officer during Vietnam in the military

It was very Dr Strangelove. If didn’t turn the launch key per orders they would shoot you and bring the next officer up

Meanwhile, in Tobleronistan

I am very happy you got to benefit from PSLF. I had so much concern they would end the program before I hit 10 years. Also my original job did not qualify due to my employer being private equity. The fun catch is if I was a direct hospital employee I would have qualified for pslf

Im not here for a good time or a long time.

Im just doing what I can with a society that thinks killing every medical and social wellness/care program in existence in best

Give to your local food banks. It can make a small but important difference

I don’t feel great because I had the pleasure of working through a pandemic 8 months after graduation and it took probably a decade off my career life at a minimum.

Private equity is fine with patients dying in the hallway or waiting room if they think they can save a buck.

250k owed when graduating residency in 2019. All state schools. I feel lucky because so many owe so much more

Sent my last student loan payment this past week

I’m very lucky my parents have been able to help me financially in undergrad and unexpected bills in residency at times

First loans taken out in 2012. I started doing the math on cumulated totals interest but just got depressed and stopped

They’re just poly market betting on the strait of Hormuz huh?

Grandma when the cops break her door down:

I have paper records of my childhood vaccines and paper records of titers from any hospital that wanted titers

If there’s any question the hospital will draw titers on specific vaccines. I absolutely would not give them unlimited my chart access

It’s giving Dadaism

My mom remembers watching McCarthy fold when Joseph Welch said "Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness."

"Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"

“That asshole McCarthy died from alcoholism the next couple years but it took a decade for people to shake his bullshit”

No one:

My mom: it was obvious McCarthy was shit housed after lunch during the Red Scare hearings, he was accusing General George Marshall of being Anti-American. General Marshall who helped Roosevelt and Truman end WWII and the name sake to “The Marshall Plan”

Mom: oh I’ve been listening to daft punk and dead mouse 5 recently

14 year old me: <experiencing actual physical redemption>

“Uhhh there was a small fire in the Lab so uhhhh things might take a little longer”

I'm obviously not going to read this garbage, but I will say that happy people don't do that to their faces

Jesus Christ that was a bad dream

What the hell brain

Clutching a $50 bag of airport Gardettos like it’s my firstborn

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

jack d ripper smoking a cigar from dr strangelove

we’re living in a remake of Dr. Strangelove where every character is this guy:

Odie a black and tan long haired dachshund investigating the works of Frank Stella

Odie must learn about Frank Stella today

I would be willing to be an asshole and cement a memorial into the crater to make a point

I’ve got free time

That’s so romantic I could die

Taking a pertinent medical history is literally the entire point of a decades worth of medical education

Clippy: It looks like you're trying to go to the moon Would you like to use Outlook for that?

I just laughed at this harder than I've laughed at anything in a while

I think reading this has killed me

I’m dead

“It writes so many sentences”

Oh good more fuckin bullshit to fill a chart with that makes billing happy but gives me more slop to pour over while I try and figure out a patients pertinent medical history
