    State regulations on tort reform/malpractice caps when considering where to practice?

    I think that approach is being overly naive. It’s not an important issue until it is. And really good doctors get sued too. I wouldn’t project those accusations onto someone just for asking the question. Tort reform is an issue important to many.

    I was the same way. I felt super far behind. But with your likely salary, a few years of serious earning and moderated spending can get you back on track. I’ve not known my credit score for two decades. I suspect it is fairly low because credit card companies barely know who I am. It has not...

    I think we all tend to be risk averse and want to remove any doubt that we will have enough, therefore, we aim high. Many will leave a large amount to offspring, which I hope to be able to do.
