They care about your daughters but they care about their children too. If they do not fill in electronic records they will have to stay after work. Many doctors have to work at home until 1-2AM to keep up with recordkeeping. On the other ha

Doctors hate their computers because of the growing volume of recordkeeping and patient communication required yet unpaid. Anyone told to stick around for 4 more hours after 8 hours of work to update records and answer emails would hate it

Interesting that he brings up the story of Er. Plato made all the arguments when it comes to philosophy’s why and how. The story of Er is the comprehension test at the end of the book. Sadly, Tim did not pass the Er’s test.

Very very few make it to T7. You will not be hired as T7 either. Your comp may exceed T7, but not your level. Yes, you can make a lot of money at Google.
