    One of the big Boston hospitals tried to recruit me for their transplant team once. They wanted to pay me $15,000/year LESS for the privilege of commuting into Boston five days a week and paying for my own parking. Fuck that noise. I’ll stay at my little community hospital, thanks. Prestige ain’t gonna pay my mortgage.

      The big university hospital that I work at charges $200 a month for employee parking, including for the people working near minimum wage.

      Doctors park free in designated spots that are closer than patient parking.

          Boston does have the MBTA.

          Although hospitals run 24/7, and the T doesn’t. And even when it’s running, sometimes it isn’t, because there’s a train broken down. Or on fire. Or both.
