So I follow what is happening in startups because I find it fascinating. One of the things I keep coming across is “machine learning” and “artificial intelligence” and their potential to “disrupt” medicine. A recent article talked about this phenomenon in general: “Artificial Intelligence Software Is Booming. But Why Now?” – New York Times Here are 90+ Artificial Intelligence Startups in Healthcare So… why now? Well, a lot has happened since the early days of AI. […]

The title should really be: “The Biggest Mistake of Your (Attending) Life”, but it didn’t flow as well, so I just cut out the attending part. It ended up sounding click-baitish, but I think that’s ok. What I have to say today will significantly shape your future.

Could Index Funds Be Bad?
Happy Labor Day! No Post Today. I would recommend checking out some other bloggers I read: PhysicianOnFire Future Proof MD Passive Income MD Dr. Wise Money All of us blog on the topic of Physician Finance/Retirement, although I am more of a “variety” (medicine/whatever/finance) blogger. It’s interesting to see how other physicians manage their finances and retirement. Overall, these other bloggers are much more aggressive about putting money away than I am, with plans for earlier […]
Labor Day and Blog Roll
This is the 4th post in my retirement series: Retiring Early, How to Retire Early, and Early Retirement is Easy? Once you decide you want to retire early, you’ll want to evaluate where your post-retirement dollar goes the farthest. I hinted at this in my prior posts.
