Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again and it’s also New Year’s Eve. Today is just going to be a short post about “Snoring Revisited“. So… how’s it going? Well, it’s been about 2 weeks of trying these things: Dortz® Anti Snoring Devices Other than them falling out of my nose once in awhile during sleep, they’ve been pretty much worked as advertised. There is a demonstrable difference in my snoring with and without them. I […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today is going to be a short post about “The 20 Year Career“. The 20 Year Career? Yea. I’ve kind of alluded to it before in a bunch of prior posts. However, I think that maybe we should reconsider the “conventional” 30 year career of a physician. In general, residents/fellows graduate in their early or mid 30s. This can also be your late 30s or early 40s if you […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. This will just be a short post about being “Home for the Holidays“. Home for the Holidays? Yea. I just dawned on me that for a long time I haven’t really had a “home”. I went to the Caribbean for medical school, then I spent 2 years of clinical rotations back in California (but not close to home). After matching into intern year and residency, I was in New […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again today and today is going to be a pretty random (and short) post about “Wisdom Teeth“. Wisdom Teeth While “Wisdom Teeth” technically falls into “dentistry” and isn’t technically “Medicine Mondays”, let’s just let that slide for today ok?
