Travel CME--Tax Deductions
What is the general wisdom on the legality of these deductions? From what I understand, some people sign up for an online CME course and travel to a vacation destination of their choosing to complete it and deduct that travel expenses on taxes. To me, this doesn't seem like it would pass the "ordinary and necessary" criteria for business expenses. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Should I Quit?
So this is going to be another "Should I leave EM?" post. No eye-rolls please.
Worked community ER for > 10 years. Early 40s, and finally hit my FI number.
Experienced firsthand all the usual reasons for wanting to quit.
Sued twice, which led to a period of depression and suicidal thoughts. Thankfully, both cases were dismissed after years of litigation, but still fear the next possible lawsuit
I've worked at a lot of different hospitals in multiple cities and have never...

Will I be invited to an interview without all my transcripts submitted?
I am thinking of taking an art class and 2 more classes to boost my gpa one last time. But I don’t want it to hinder my chances of getting a medical school interview. I’m not sure if medical schools require that they receive all my transcripts before they invite me for an interview? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Obligation to Police
Just curious if anyone knows the legalities of sharing information with the police or situations they have ran into where police request to know the health information of a patient. We have a great relationship with our local PD. They patrol the hospital often and are pleasant, never have had an issue, not that this is something that changes the legal way to go about the situation.
We had a patient brought in that had full rigor, cold skin, blown pupils. EMS arrived to scene due to the...

Is this legal?
I have a friend who took an admin position and she told me the new ops manager in our department is an idiot and is trying to make it so that if your patients cancel and you can’t fill the spots you use PTO for those spots. Is that even legal? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

AACOMAS Fee Waiver?
I qualified for the AAMC fee assistance program based on earning fairly little in my current job. I'm over 26 and independent so I didn't need to provide parental income for that application.
The AACOMAS fee waiver seems harder to receive.
For AACOMAS, it seems parental income is required even if you're independent. The only exceptions are if parents are deceased or incarcerated or if you're legally emancipated. This seems rather strict. Wondering what experiences other have had. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

From one PT program to another
So I’m currently in my first semester at a PT program in NC. I’m originally from FL but it was me and wife’s 5-year-plan to move to NC, so applying to schools in NC made sense. To make a long story short, we found out we were expecting our first baby a few months before I started in January. I did research and found that University of St. Augustine accepts transfer credits, which would be amazing since my in laws live in Daytona. Our main concern right now is being around family (for obvious...
