Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today is kind of a light-hearted post about “Snoring and Me”. Snoring and Me So I’ve known I snore for a few years now. I don’t think it was the bad when I was in college or medical school, but I think it’s progressively become worse. This may have something to do with the weird hours I worked in residency and fellowship – and now I work evenings which […]

Snoring and Me #illumedati


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? So I went to have my teeth cleaned this past weekend. Since I met my wife back in 2004 I’ve been pretty diligent of brushing my teeth (and even flossing sometimes!). […]

Stokes Adams Syndrome
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. I realize I forgot to post on Friday for Finance Fridays, but I had some house stuff come up which I’ll get into on Wednesday probably.

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today we’re going to ponder “The Ideal Job“. Why a Unicorn? Well, “The Ideal Job” is kind of like the Unicorn in that people chase after it, but it probably doesn’t exist. That’s ok though. It’s an ideal, not necessarily something that can actually happen. I mean, every job has its advantages and disadvantages. However, just because your job is a certain way doesn’t mean it needs to stay […]

The Ideal Job #illumedati



Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. I’ve talked about “Would you do it again?” in regards to being a doctor before. However, today we’re going to revisit the topic. Would you do it again? The TL;DR is that yes I would do it again. However, this answer is different for different people. There is a surprising amount of doctors (that I know), that would not do it again. The explanations are pretty broad. Hours are […]

Would you do it again? (revisited) #illumedati


Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. This is just a short reminder to “Take care of your eyes“. Take care of your eyes? Don’t worry, we’re all doing fine over here. However, I want to take the time to share a story with you guys. Basically, my wife and I both wear glasses and contact lenses. I’m sure this is common for many, many doctors. However, because of our schedules as medical students, residents, and […]
