Future Robot
Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. Today is going to be a fun post about “Predicting the Future”. Predicting the Future? Yea, let’s pretend it’s been 15 years. So it’s 2034. So what’s 2034 like? 2034 means my daughter Kylie is 21 years old and will be starting her senior year in college. Where that is I’m not really sure. My current guess is that she leaves Hawaii and goes to college on the mainland […]

Until you have assets to protect (such as a house) then you really don’t need this. However: You want your non-occupation liability insurance to be approximately equal to the assets […]

Ok, so the last post of “Why do I need insurance?” might have seemed a bit backward since I told you all what to buy, and not why to buy it. That was intentional.

Trust […]

Why do I need insurance? This is a common question among young physicians. It should be a question you ask yourself during residency or internship, but unfortunately, like many things it is of low priority during that time period. It is brushed off into the “I’ll get to it later” pile of things to do. I hope this article reaches more residents so that they will be aware of just how important insurance is for […]
