This is one of the most hilariously ridiculous SDN threads I've seen.

Meh, it somehow righted itself. I don't give it much of a future though, given Burnett's law as alluded to earlier by @Mad Jack

I remember this one dentist telling me about his home, he said he only bought it because it had a secret room he could use to read his books and ignore wife and kids. Definitely need a secret room.
 
So could a physician afford a 4 million dollar house in MA area?

I believe A physician could, but not most. I would doubt if even 15% could.

Physicians salaries vary wildly from 80k up to multiple million based on specialty, type of practice, location, and number of hours worked.

Certainly if you group into specialty vs primary care it may seem more even but when you are looking at salaries, only a select few specialties are making nearly a million dollars a year and so it begins to look more like a pyramid with primary care at the base, then intermediate specialties like PMR, neurology, EM, then higher paying ones like cardiology, GI, then ophthalmology, rad onc, the. Neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, plastics, interventional cards etc perched at the top.

Certainly this is a generalization and there are exceptions but if you are looking at physician salaries as a whole,the multimillion dollar annual income is exceedingly rare.

Really though, SDN is mostly the work of one autistic child typing away furiously at all hours of the day and night. It's basically Twin Peaks without the murder.
I've always envisioned SDN as a much sadder St. Elsewhere Tommy-esq universe.

I'm actually so embarrassed I might delete my post before this asking who he was...
It's been quoted already. Your embarrassing question will outlive all of us now. Your children's children will hang their heads in shame at the memory of your disgrace. Your only option is to flee the country, find a back alley surgeon to give you new eyes à la Minority Report, and legally change your name to 604dentistry. God speed.
 
^ Looks like it would fall over. Not particularly scenic from what is available in the picture.

I think it's interesting how much hate people heap on CC courses. I took some sciences at CC that were taught by professors from the big name nationally ranked state university, with the exact same format they used for their university students. Prepared me well enough to score in the mid 30s :shrug:

I took a Bio class at a CC and it was one of the best classes I've taken. Professor was a Phd from Emory University. And several other professors at Emory taught part time with similar to exact same class structures as the university. Same here in Fla as I start looking at schools. A lot of these professors at the local college also teach at Florida Gulf Coast University. I see where the hate is coming from but I think CC is a fantastic option especially if you have a difficult schedule to work around.

Personally, after having gone to a state school, then emory, and now cc's, I refuse to go back to a state school when I know I can get the same education for 1/3 of the price.
