This is a guest post from Good Nelly, who is associated with DebtCC Community. She primarily writes financial articles in order to help others manage their finances and solve their monetary problems. Apart from writing, she loves to travel to new places. This post is a bit different than my own writing on money/spirituality, so it’s…
Who works harder on vacation? Who takes less vacation? Who drinks more caffeine? Who sleeps the least? These conversations are common in medicine, but likely also common in many other demanding fields. The finance mavens on Wall Street work as many hours as most physicians, however their “work-life balance” doesn’t seem to be as widely…
A Mother’s Day special (yes, I know it was 2 days ago): 3 blog posts devoted to mother’s, and the sad story of a mother’s loss of her child (no, not everything is uplifting). This is TL;DR (Too Long, Didn’t Read) Tuesdays. I summarize and discuss two articles — one from a blogger, and from…
Your loved one is having a chest pain. You call 911 — the paramedics arrive quickly. They tell you they are heading to the closest hospital, just a few minutes away, which provides care for heart attacks. Should you tell them to bypass it — take your spouse to The Ivory Tower Hospital, aka the…

Other children literally come to him for help with tasks and activities before asking the teacher. He knows the routines, he knows where…

I also provide links to two other blog posts you should read on your own, with a goal to feature bloggers that have popped up on here before and/or that…
Last week, I shared a guest post from an interventional radiologist who chose not to pursue a career in academic medicine. Today we’re going to discuss life in academic medicine, aka The Ivory Tower. The term “Ivory Tower” is not a compliment — it is meant to imply those inside the tower are insulated from reality, have an easier life,…
This is a guest post from VagabondMD, an interventional radiologist who I befriended through The InterWebs. Vagabond is sharing insights into what led him away from academic medicine, aka The Ivory Tower. Vagabond and I trained at the same institution, though at different times and in different fields. I stayed, he left. Today, read about why he…
The one-year anniversary of my blog — the blogiversary — passed last week with little fanfare. Meaning no fanfare, as no one besides me remembered. To celebrate this forgotten blogiversary, I am handing over a big decision to the readers of my blog. I’ve previously decided that 10% of all revenue generated by this site will be…
