Suspect she needed a few days of hydration and feeling better - glad it worked 03:28:26 pin In terms of me - 03:28:34 pm If at all possible and feasible I would like to do something significant that ties together my domestic and international experiences - it feels like surgeon general (an advocacy role...) is my best bet 03:29:25 pm EFTA01617464 I worry about this administrations lack of support for women and the chances of their being thrown out of office and everyone alongside them - so that is real 03:30:15 pm Timing for the role opening is tricky be it could be soon. Good news it isn't policy position. It's just advocacy on health and can find some good ones. Question is how to get there while Also hedging -- be if I don't get it I still need a career 03:31:41 pm 561 655 7626 now good 03:33:17 pm Here are some parts of the puzzle that could fit together: 1. Bgc3 is opening a DC office partly to go deeper on domestic health issues. 2. Peterson fndn (mostly data and policy) want to somehow cooperate 3. Rockefeller will shape anything I want and give me a role Or resources to do domestic health or Frontier science stuff - either in a big role there or participating w bgc3 (based in nyc but can work from seattle or DC too) So what's the ask of bgc3 03:34:47 pm Am at my AMA fndn board mtg HAVE break from 12-1 Chicago time 03:35:39 pin ok 03:35:47 pm • • EFTA01617465 03:35:59 pm Am program chair and it is super contentious right now 03:36:43 pm Lots of conflicts everywhere 03:37:00 pm Now? 06:16:07 pm Have 10 minutes now 06:26:46 pm Or - one other very real option on the table is to go back to full time neurosurgery in seattle and the university and just practice a lot and be in the hospital a lot and do nothing else 07:13:47 pm EFTA01617466 It pays about 500-750k per year out in the real world or 300-400k in the public facilities 07:14:21 pin And just give up on everything else and stop trying 07:14:35 pin Would end all other career aspirations and just become "doctor" 07:18:13 pm are you depressed. 07:57:02 pm Not clinically. Sadness (dysphora) is different than depression. I am sad that I can't find a reliable and good and fun next step despite really good and committed stuff ("career") 08:04:31 pm It makes me sad that 25 years of world health org, gates fndn, world bank (while maintaining active clinical Career) gives me really almost zero good options 08:05:25 pm And I feel like I'm running out of time Medicine always around and very boring and regular Rejoining the club of obsolete and useless individuals 08:06:03 pm Even bills world is a bit of stupidness too 08:06:16 pm EFTA01617467 I want to do something really great 08:10:25 pm And I'm bored 08:10:35 pm Don't mean to complain / you know that 08:11:20 pm Is VP of schmeckelville at rockefeller or vp of stupidness w billg better than neurosurg at one of the busiest hospitals in the county 08:14:27 pm 2017/02/05 I think I now understand what our friends wife might have on him that keeps him very close and scared Two things 01:12:18 am ../ Read ??? 04:23:53 am s, Sent EFTA01617468
