Tennessee: "progressive"
Mississippi: "cultural"

Honestly you'd figure people who are smart enough to obtain an MD would be smart enough to realize that organizing geographical locations by state is a stupid way of organizing. There's a big difference between being offered a job in "Chicago", and a job in "Illinois".

 

[mmmcdowe]

Paid for by the committee to get people to migrate to states that for some strange reason struggle to get health care providers.

 

[BobbyB]

what regions would you guys classify as good areas for a single doctor?

i was thinking either Houston or the Pacific Northwest

i think my love for latinas makes me biased toward Texas

 

[Porfirio]

Hahahaha at Louisiana having good schools.

 

[KinasePro]

I'm convinced all of these Medscape surveys are designed by mouth breathers.

I think we're two peas in a pod. western washington or austin for me.

The Pacific Northwest would be a good location if you like hanging out with other highly paid single men. It depends on your goals, I guess.

My hipster detection meter is beeping...

Yeah, the job in Chicago would suck 🙂

Illinois: California-sized taxes for Mississippi-quality services.

Agreed. I'd rather stay on the coasts.

 

[WingedOx]

In terms of where I'd want to live, I'd take Chicago over just about any city on the East or West coast, but for the fiscal health of both the city and state means working there can be kind of a sh*tshow.

 

[LostinLift]

South Carolina: "Several museums"

 

[KnuxNole]

Pacific NW, Austin, New England sounds nice. Some of the MW states(wisconsin, minnesota) seem cool, as well as some of the southeast. decisions, decisions

 

[loris]

Alaska: "Tight-knit community"
Yes, because no one else lives there.

 

[loris]

Also I recently discovered this hospital in South Carolina. I’m not sure whether it’s fate and I should try to work there at some point or if this is a Highlander situation.

 

[NickNaylor]

Illinois: California-sized taxes for Mississippi-quality services.

California: California-sized taxes for perpetual water shortages.

...but hey, at least there are pretty coasts and nice weather in California.

Chicago isn't for me, thus why I'm going back home to Texas for residency. Cool city, but the weather sucks.

Boston has more single women than single men. A lot of them are grad students at one of the many universities around here. I don't know if that's a plus for you (it would be for me). I think Seattle has more single men than single women. I know nothing about Texas.

Oh cool, I'm semi-interested in texas myself. Will have to look into Austin vs San Antonio when the time comes.

Don't forget to threaten to fight people who park in your spot that you reserved with a lawn chair after driving out of a spot with a half-inch dusting of snow.

Good states: Alaska, Corn Fields, the Bible Belt

Bad states: The Northeast, (especially NYC and Providence)

To non-chicagoans out there wondering...yes this is a thing.

Was not aware New York city was a state.

My Wisconsinite roommate calls the drivers that come up from Chicago FIBs: ****in Illinois Bastards. It's a thing.

The article specifically calls out NYC and Providence. However, you are right in my slip-up; feel free to replace the word state with place, location, or anything else that suits your fancy.

 

[KnuxNole]

I can't ever see myself in the Bible Belt...I think I would get smacked with a Bible the moment I step foot in there :O

It's not that bad. People don't want to seem bigots in any way so they act extra nice.

Ask Florida congressman alcee l Hastings about Texas... Google that stuff. It's lol funny

 

[BobbyB]

just realized that even though boston might have more single women, they would be the hipster feminist type

Totes. You totally wouldn't get that in Seattle, PDX, Houston or Austin.

They aren't single for no reason

Well, they do outnumber us here. Not enough of us non-rhotic dad bods to go around.

 

[touchpause13]

That's reasonably accurate. I'm used to living fair enough north that the biggest d bags are Manitobians tho
