James Davis, DO

So, a little #FathersDay2017 announcement: #ItsOfficial #BWWM #CafeAuLait

@philvischer Listened this morning to this sermon by Tim Keller that is tailor made for this time. Biblical justice is to tangibly care for the orphan, widow, the poor, and the immigrant & that responsibility is unchanged by whom is in office. youtu.be/u8Fn4vTTXHM?si…

@BrentAWilliams2 Is this for Medicaid, too? But yeah, makes sense why many docs cap their number of Medicaid patients

I'm over here, chuckling at the comments, because, in true myopic fashion, the institution forgot their embryology - male sex differentiation is not present at conception, but begins at 6 weeks, and that the default pathway is female

@MikeCosper Umm... I'm assuming the pastor recalls the descriptions of King Ahab's behavior and faithfulness vs Elijah's. I don't know. We must be talking about a different God

Presented without comment.

More important than ever!!

After my earlier post I feel like I need to be super clear about something... Interrupting others (for a slew of possible reasons) is considered a very common manifestation of autism and ADHD. It is an example of how these conditions show up as disabilities for people. \1

@KaeleyT Oof. Devilishly so

This is blasphemous.

@fptretter @democracynow @ClimateHuman It can be both. Scheduled controlled burns are helpful, but they're decreasingly effective the hotter and drier the overall climate gets

@democracynow @ClimateHuman Right, the fires have nothing to do with the underbrush not being cleared. Lets go back a few decades and compare when the underbrush was being cleared and compare it to recent years. Let's compare the frequency and severity of wild fires in California then and now.

Climate scientist Peter Kalmus (@ClimateHuman) talks about leaving Los Angeles two years ago due to the risk of climate-fueled wildfires. He says the devastation unfolding in Southern California now is even worse than he feared and warns, "This is still just the beginning."

@moorehn That's... Odd. I can get the initial reaction, for 0.5 sec, but the fact that his face doesn't warm up to her at all, followed by the disrespectful push away? Now, I'm bad with my own nonverbal cues, but that's not RBF, that's WTF and GTFO

Sadly this can be true even in a relationship. On TikTok a girl posted a video of herself surprising her boyfriend on New Year's Eve, and obvious to everyone else (but not to her) when he saw her he wasn't delighted -- he turned red, he scanned the room, he even pushed her away. His reaction was so bad that some creators even theorized that she was a stalker. She wasn't; they were engaged a month ago.

@doclauravater As you say, that's what it means to be a guide, not a gatekeeper

Non-abandonment (in ethics) basically means we do our best to have a caring commitment to patients, even if the path forward is unclear or different than what we recommended. It means we continue to try to help, even if we disagree or don’t understand.

I'm an odd oncologist, maybe. When my patients opt for no chemo, I keep seeing them if they wish. I help w/ symptoms, follow scans over time, & help interpret data about alternatives. A doctor is a guide. We should continue to guide, even if a person opts for a different path.

@Strangeland_Elf Fully agreed

I’m not saying anyone needs to marry a single mother or whatever but this is such a narcissistic view of fatherhood. All about you. This belittling of “raising someone else’s kid”, this idea that no child that isn’t your genetic offspring would be worth raising. Your pride or whatever being more important than fatherless child’s future. People can marry who they want so don’t come into my mentions whining about being forced to marry someone. But the mindset behind seeing it as humiliating to raise a child that isn’t “yours” is incredibly ignoble.

@drantbradley Also, that article is looking at cultural standards of adulthood and not asking whether they're functional signs of adulthood

@drantbradley It's too expensive. Many folks need multiple rent-paying roommates. Dating is expensive. Marriage is expensive. Divorce is even more expensive. People are recognizing we need a village and the current nuclear, isolated family model doesn't provide that.

Any thoughts on why this is happening? According to the article, 1-in-3 young adults today will never marry. What’s going on? Why is this happening?

@EgyptianWeenie @olsonplanner They're reimbursed by your program after passing Big difference. You still have to pay up front out of your tiny pocket

@olsonplanner Luckily most programs set aside GME for residents every year so those should be paid for by your residency program

Step 3 costs $1,000?? That’s over 80 hours of work for a resident! And where’s that money going??

@dv_nemeth @olsonplanner Oh yeah. It's a pay-to-play schtick. I had to sit down and figure out how much of my budget I needed to devote to away rotation applications, residency applications, residency travel, and buying diapers for my then-infant son

@olsonplanner Tyler! Yes. I made a presentation on how much money I spent just applying to away rotations and residency. Would love to share with you of it would provide you with more context. It’s insane !

@olsonplanner @AshleyGWinter It varies per specialty. Pediatrics is in the ballpark of $2600 I'm sure you're aware of how peds is a heavyweight in the compensation game...

@AshleyGWinter How much are those? 😳

@olsonplanner Heh

@KarlSorrells @olsonplanner @emilykmay It depends on their specialty and amount of school debt. It's possible, but you have to be aggressive. What I'm trying to communicate is that the perception of a cushy lifestyle is not necessarily the case, especially for primary care and recent grads

@KaapstadMK @olsonplanner @emilykmay I mean I don’t know what your definition of doing ok is but 34% of doctors are millionaires by age 44. Not a lot of other professions that can say that. bfadvisors.com/net-worth-by-a…

if you bought a $7 latte every single day this month, that's $210. median price of rent is $2,000. does not even make a dent.

@KarlSorrells @olsonplanner @emilykmay It's the older docs, who graduated when the cost was much lower, or those in the really high paying specialties

@olsonplanner @emilykmay And yet doctors somehow seem like they are doing ok.

PERSON WHO HAD FOUR EXPERIENCES: So, there's this dichotomous pattern
