If only our leaders would realize the problem (our field being deep blue instead of red hot) is not that the numerator is too small, but rather that the denominator is too big.

Supply and demand

Chairs are saying demand and supply!

chairs are saying, do we smell meat? We got a bbq baby!

 

[Chartreuse Wombat]

Chairs and employers in general love excess supply. Wages fall.

I would think eventually this will even hit the chairs. Why give a mil to a 65+ yr old who no longer sees patients and does Mediocre research when you have excess supply of people who matched in the golden era of residents and would be willing to do more rvu generating work for 50-60% of salary

Even the brilliant Wally couldn’t save RO.
It must be the way debakey felt after he realized in the complex open **** he was doing could be done with a Cather guidewire and a dude without any surgical training.

Is today that magical day when we learn how many residency spots went unfilled in the main match?

I think so. It's weird that the further out I get the less I care at all.

Honestly at this point they deserve whatever happens going forward. I feel bad for the folks that matched in post 2015

Yea same. And to those who apply - it's not like they weren't given ample warning. It's really on them when they graduate and realize the mess they're in.

That dude said a lot of words but I’m not sure I could say he was for the cause.

No matter what the stats show, ASTRO/SCAROP/ABR will put a positive spin on it. That's the beauty of being the bottom ranked specialty - there is only one way to go.
