Took the Boxster out for date Saturday

[mach schnell]

Ill just throw in - don't go to medical school because you think you're gonna make it rich!!!! If someone fronts the bill for your education, you're off to a better start than most! The good ole days of medicine (70's and 80's) are long gone - the decades when being a doctor was a really respective thing in society and a very very lucrative career choice. - now, HMO's are cashing in big time and our reimbursements are getting smaller. Surgeons still make a good a living (money wise) but sacrifice a lot by still working 80+ hours a week (an assumed thing when you're a resident in training, but you hope to achieve a little more liveable schedule when you're an attending).

I tell everyone, who makes the joke about me being loaded - there are a million things I could have done a lot faster and easier if it were about the money. Play doctor cuz it's in your heart, make the $$$$ another way. In my case, hopefully the medical sci-fi novel I'm writing (maybe a future screenplay???- hey it worked for Michael Crichton - wrote his first book, Andromeda Strain while he was third year med student. I started mine during 2nd year)

I'll add, because I'm not done with all my training yet, I get lots a looks and comments because I own a new Porsche.
