It’s Whatever Wednesdays and this will be a short post (for real this time!) to illustrate a simple concept. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. (TANSTAAFL) When I was a kid, I knew very little about the world or money. All I knew was that my dad and mom worked very, very hard.

This is a follow-up to my prior posts, Choosing Your First Job and Malpractice Insurance. Once you have an offer in hand, they will send you a contract.

For the most part, this is covered during residency under your institutional policy, which is almost always occurrence meaning that you don’t have to worry about it. However, now that you are […]
