If anyone ever stands up during an ASTRO plenary and yells "OK, Midplainer" they instantly become the GOAT.

I agree, I actually enjoy where this thread has gone. Maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe the boomers are going to retire soon! If you remember playing tecmo bowl and spending hours playing duck hunt, what does that make me?

Probably the same as me. But those were just iconic games that I'd happily play today.

I think I am a late millennial because I remember talking trash about them and somebody said I happened to be one. I wanted to cry but then realize there is a big difference between the older ones and the younger ones who nobody can stand... lol! I rather hang out with Gen Z.

If you "wanted to cry" then made an Insta post about it, then you may be too far gone.

I realized i was gen X when i talked about the original Gameboy with my MA and she didn't realize the original had spinach colored graphics and came out 5 years before she was even born

I had a lot of older brothers I hung out with who were all Gen X so I know all about that. I was even introduced to Atari and can remember being blown away by the Tandy at RadioShack!

Get a room, y'all Gen X'ers.

Tandy was crap.

How dare you!? In order to master all the buttons, you need to start with one!

Are Boomers even allowed to use Ghee?

What’s the point of life without ghee?

Just end it.

Tandy was the tab soda of electronics

 

[deleted1002574]

I think of Tandy more as the Zima of home computing.

Zima came back, kinda like crystal pepsi.

Tandy died like radio shack eventually did.

That’s what all this may start turning into.

People have some strong feelings online. I’m glad this place is anonymous or somebody might take a hit out on me!

I have seen way too many meme references to this show. Guess I gotta check out. And whoever Carol Baskin is.

I feel like I've aged 10 years in the past week as there are memes I don't understand anymore.

Personally, I am fortunate to spend some of my clinical effort caring for the men and women whose made sacrifices on our behalf. There is great need in our VA system and I am grateful for the opportunity care for these men and women.

Thanks for your service

Doesn't jive with the reports that only 120ish slots filled with US MD grads.....

Yea, I noticed that as well. I take it to mean that 120 MDs initially than most of the SOAP was MDs as well bring it upto a high total MD amount.

Let's see how many of them actually start in July 2021.

Esp after the covid/tele-supervision bombshell that has probably going to hurt anyone who hasn't signed yet.... And maybe even some of those that have

 

[radoncgrad2019]

yeah july 2021 is a long time away for someone that is otherwise competitive applicant to get scared away into something else

 

[evilbooyaa]

LLikely includes the MD ortho/ophtho/urology/derm rejects from SOAP.

 

[Earte]

I just finished reading the last few pages of this thread and i'm sweating, lol

 

[BobbyHeenan]

This could get interesting....?I presume places like MDACC and MSKCC don't take uninsured patients?

This is crazy to me coming from an academic center in training that took on all the train wreck uninsured and now out in community comprehensive cancer center where I treat a lot of uninsured indigent.

MSK's entire business model is stealing patients from other full service hospitals and health systems with direct to consumer marketing followed by the ole' wallet biopsy. I'm happy to see them get called out for what they are on Twitter.

Issue with these sort of statements is they have the opposite effect, Nixon style, “i am not a crook”. Turns out you are a crook, and will in fact steal your patients. These cancer centers get so much government funding and do not treat the uninsured. They should lose all funding until this changes.

I dump toxic and radioactive waste in the river behind my house, but i am a good environmental citizen because I recycle a few soda cans. This is danger of tokenism- a few minor acts of good will to mask the badness.

 

[Mandelin Rain]

You only need include the disclaimer "We will not steal your patients" if A. You are admittedly notorious for stealing patients, and B. You fully intend of stealing cherry picked patients.

 

[PhotonBomb]

Babysitter listings where you say ‘I won’t steal your man’

 

[RadOncMegatron]

MSKCC won't actively steal your patients, but "nothing we can do" if patients decide to come back to MSKCC.

 

[Mandelin Rain]

Correct.

 

[RickyScott]

let’s say mskcc steals a pt, macroscopically are we worse off- yes! Because whatever health services they render are almost surely going to be more expensive than anyone else.
