Is Bitcoin a Bubble? 2
Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today I’m going to talk about Bitcoin (again). You may have seen it setting new records in the news lately, so today I wanted to ponder “Is Bitcoin a Bubble?” Sensei’s note: I’m writing this article on 11/30/2017 to be posted tomorrow December 1, 2017.

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. Today I’m just going to go over my plans for the California Family Trip of 2018. California Family Trip of 2018 So, you guys may remember on my Christopher Guest Post with Physician on Fire when I was asked: You’ve got eleven days to visit anyplace in the world with an $11,000 budget.

Resiliency
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. This is going to be a short post on the culture of Medicine, especially the concept of “resilience“. So every year, a fresh group of bright-eyed 1st year medical students start medical school. The vast majority of them start the year with ambitions to be the best doctor they can be and for most of them I think there is a feeling of “I can’t believe I’m going to […]
