Cholesterol, HDL, and LDL — Hey everyone, this is kind of a weird topic for today’s Medicine Mondays, but there has always been some confusion surrounding “cholesterol”, so I wanted to talk about it here. Today, we’re going to talk about Cholesterol, HDL, and LDL. Cholesterol, HDL, and LDL So, here’s the deal. I’m not a young gun anymore. I’m an old man now, at the ripe old age of 36. At my yearly checkup, my primary care doctor (who is […]

Risk and Responsibilities — Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. We’re going to make a slight departure from the more recent posts and talk about a relatively simple concept, but is worth clarifying and understanding. Today we’re going to talk about Risk and Responsibilities. Risk and Responsibilities As you might expect, Risk and Responsibilities share an inverse relationship, while not begin mutually exclusive from one another. In general, the more responsibilities you have, the lower the level of risk […]

Sorry — Hey everyone, sorry this post is late. However, it’s just to explain that there is no post today. Here’s the story: I forgot that today was Wednesday and I decided to have a Father-Daughter day with @vietaliana. We shot a few more videos for her YouTube channel in the morning, ate lunch, and then watched a movie on the TV (with popcorn!) while lounging on the couch. So… basically… I forgot about Whatever Wednesdays. My […]

However, I’m going to try to narrow down this concept into the medical field. Today we’re going to talk about “What is Social Capital?” **Oops, I accidentally published this early… anyways ENJOY! What is Social Capital? Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia’s definition: “Social capital is a form of economic and cultural capital in which social networks are central, transactions marked by reciprocity, trust, and cooperation, […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. The past few posts were part of my “Let’s Gamble” segment about Crypotcurrency mostly with a short break to talk about “Why Do Doctors Buy Big Houses”. Today we’re going to talk about something a little different, “Passive Income doesn’t start Passively”. First things first… What is “Passive Income”? Well, it is kind of what you expect. It’s income you get on a regular basis that doesn’t require you […]

Vietaliana Selfie — Hey everyone, this is another random Whatever Wednesdays post. I wanted to talk about how important I think reading is, but that is kind of a nebulous topic. Instead, I’m going to talk about “Reading with Vietaliana” ie, reading with my daughter. Reading with Vietaliana First things first, my daughter is 4 years old. Since my wife and I are both full-time physicians, she’s been going to daycare/preschool 5 days a week for most of […]
