Elsewhere in the thread he mentions that the guy thought he was snitching on them and was making plans to kidnap him. So I doubt they're good buddies, lol.

Word of advice to the anesthesiologists out there - don't be like mine the one time I was put under general and discuss a recent patient death out in the hallway just before coming into my room to knock me out. That will NOT help me be calm and reduce my anxiety about the situation. I can only assume others would appreciate this courtesy, as well.

What? It's not about 2 incomes if they literally hand you 20k for getting married. And it's gonna be really tough to afford divorce if you also need to pay back that 20k. And in a state with poor economic prospects, many people will struggle to find employment at all.

By having that be the best economic prospect your state has to offer?

Because they'll give you 20k and you desperately need money because your state has very little opportunities and you assume you'll be able to figure something out later.
