  • Because, I know MDs with student loans. I don’t know why you think _everyone _ is having trouble paying back student loans.

    I’m not saying the whole student loan business isn’t fucked up. Or, that there aren’t lots of people screwed over by the system.

    But, of all the the people with student loans, anesthesiologists are the least of concern. It’s just stupidly laughable to show concern for an anesthesiologist‘s student loans. They’re fine. It’s one of the highest paid specialties.

    Anthem’s policy proposal was dangerous and fucking scary from a patient treatment perspective. Arguing against it from the perspective of the anesthesiologist‘s loan payments makes no sense. The anesthesiologist would still be getting paid well while the patient laid on the table in agony or dying from lack of treatment.





  • When they call all Indian immigrants incompetent because they work with a couple Indian people who suck, that’s textbook racist.

    Otherwise, I could call all white people stupid, all Latinos insecure and lazy and all black people pushy. But, I don’t because I know their race, color or many other unrelated traits have fuck all to do with one person’s performance.

    If you’re generalizing about a population based a few people, you are racist.

    Based your other comments, you are pretty damn racist. Time for a look in the mirror.






  • Look at their post history. They have serious issues that need to be addressed by professionals but won’t/are unable to get help for whatever reason. They post a lot of these doom and gloom questions.

    They’re seeking affirmation that their life sucks and that there’s nothing they can do about it because that’s easier than addressing the problem. It’s a vicious cycle of mental illness reinforcing the mental illness. Internet conversations are not likely to be any help to them.



  • Nice explanation, thanks. I would read more.

    Do you also have brief, pointed argument against crypto/blockchain that you use in casual conversation? The subject comes up fairly frequently and I know it’s all bullshit but I usually struggle to explain why. What key points would you make to people who might be starting to get seduced by the hype or who are already sucked in?
