If not Medicine... then what? 1
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. I wasn’t sure what to write about for this week, but since last week I talked about “Why Radiology?, I’ve decided to do another “stream of consciousness” type post to ponder “If not Medicine… then what?” So then… let’s think about it: If I didn’t go to medical school, what would I have done? Well, anything I say here will just be all speculation, but just let me talk […]

Hey everyone, we’re going to continue with this Finance Fridays which is outside “The Philosophy“. We’ve talked about Taxable Accounts, Tax Efficiency, and Dividend Stocks. So as promised, I’m going to talk a little about Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) today. What is Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin)? First things first, Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin aren’t the same thing, although people tend to use them interchangeably sometimes. Bitcoin is the “first” and “prototypical” cryptocurrency, but not the only one. I choose my title […]

Why Radiology? 6
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays and I didn’t really have any particular post in mind today. So today is going to be another “stream of consciousness” type post where I ponder “Why Radiology?” So this is probably going to be a short post. I don’t think I’m going to go into too much depth and introspection here, at least not today. So then, Why Radiology? Well, if you may recall, I didn’t originally set out […]

Dividend Stocks 1
Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. This new series about things “outside the norm” of The Philosophy continues. Since we’ve talked about Taxable Accounts and Being Tax Efficient, it’s now time to start talking about What are Dividend Stocks? What are “Dividend Stocks”? In general, Dividend Stocks are stocks held in companies which are considered financially stable and mature. This usually means they are “large cap”, a market capitalization of more than $10 billion. These stocks […]

Oahu Real Estate
Hey guys, this is kind of a random post, but it’s Whatever Wednesdays, so I think it’s ok. Like I’ve said before, I recently bought a house, which I advised against in Do As I Say Not As I Do as a young attending. However, I didn’t come to that decision lightly. So today I’m going to share my opinions on Oahu Real Estate. Let’s begin… This story begins back in 2014 when I first accepted this […]
