This is a follow-up post to Monday’s post about Residency Interviews. Since it’s more a “general” topic about traveling for any interview, I’ve decided to post it on Whatever Wednesdays rather than wait until next week for Medicine Mondays. Nonetheless, because it is Residency Interview season, I will focus on that: First of all, I apologize that this post was kind of late. Normally, I write these to be scheduled for posting at 9 am Hawaii […]

While its benefits seems “obvious” to me, it is less obvious […]
Let’s Talk About 529s
Today’s topic is kind of only circumferentially related to medicine, and more relates to my past expectations. Also, apologies if the site was loading slowly recently. I think the new Twitter widget was slowing things down. I have since removed it because I feel speed is more important. For those interested in my twitter, you can just click the link at the top.

Past, Present and Future Me

However, for some reason I decided to make the next post, The Biggest Mistake of Your Life. I’m not sure why this happened. Nonetheless, here is that post:
