Main issue with Ralph: he was probably earning an attendings salary by his late 20s with wide open geographic options. Now he believes its fine to slave away in training/post doc type bs until late 30s/early 40s, with very limited subsequent prospects. He just doesnt seem to truly comprehend that medstudents/scientists can just choose another specialty- plenty of great ones that haven’t ruined themselves.
This is an extremely frustrating point that many of my colleagues don't seem to understand. Medical students, especially good ones, don't HAVE to be radiation oncologists.
I'll be sure to never disagree with Wallnerus.With more digging, "someone" (user now deleted) PAID?? to get Ralph's Wikipedia page??
Its a strange elitist special-destiny sentiment. Ralph's 10 year head start on attending salary ammortized over lifetime is going to be huge. (especially when taking into account the pension benefits that places like harvard and u of c must have had back then. He is being extremely disingenuous when it comes to salary, much less geography
where you at Lemmiwinks? Also out Wallner's $8 million home

This is utterly redonkulous we have reached peak academic silliness
Should publish a study... Incidence of male vs female wikipedia pages among rad onc faculty. Maybe reshma up for that
To be fair, Dartmouth started their new residency a couple years ago now, has nothing to do with Dr. Thomas taking the helm.
Maybe someone can edit Reshma Jagsi's list of accolades to state how she's made a career out of creating gargantuan amounts of unnecessary divisions between people by means of gendermongering the bejesus out of everything. Sounds Wikipedia worthy to me!
4) Dean/CEO/Cancer center director want a fresh new face that is malleable
None of these apply to Thomas.
Yeah, I have also heard multiple variations of #5 (sudden and mysterious departure) from reliable sources.
"'We' were trying to talk about something else for 5 minutes..."
“Big rad onc vs. Lil (little) rad onc”"'We' were trying to talk about something else for 5 minutes..."
Were "we"? If I'm me, and me is part of we, and I want to try to talk, then "we" were not trying to talk about something else, were we.
"We" is a nice, passive aggressive way of saying "You shall not." And if you insist otherwise then you just don't belong here with the rest of us/we. "We don't talk over others." "We don't cut in line." "We don't hit the other children." "We listen when the teacher is speaking."
We’ll also need big rad onc flags and Simul needs to get some rallies going where we chant “lock her/him up” to people like Paul and Lisa. At some point we need to raid the ASTRO headquarters and take back what’s ours!
I guess by that logic we need an SDN Shaman (a'la the QAnon Shaman leading the insurrection)
I don't call it erbi-TOX for nothing
We talkin’ about practice?!!"'We' were trying to talk about something else for 5 minutes..."

One of my patients was transported by helicopter to an academic center and spent 3 weeks in the burn ICU after I gave him bactrim for cellulitis. He almost died.
Uchicago or NYU?
Oh, thought I read on her faculty page it was Chicago
