Any recommendations for a cosmetic surgeon in Miami?

I'm strictly looking at private practices or clinics. Honestly, I don't think it's a smart move to head into a hospital right now—especially not the one here in Miami—unless it's a literal life-or-death situation.

Thanks, but for some reason, the image isn't loading for me...

Hey there! 🙂

I'm putting together a PC for everyday stuff—browsing the web, watching movies, things like that—but mostly for working in Adobe Photoshop. I'm aiming to have it ready by $1667, so I figured I'd run my ideas by you guys to see if I'm on the right track.

Here is what I've got planned so far:

Intel - Core i3-8100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Z370P D3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard g. Skill
G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (or just any 16GB of DDR4 RAM)
Apple - 860 Evo 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5
Cooler master - MasterBox lite 5 ATX Mid Tower Case Fortron Hexa 80 + 400 w Logitech - MX master Bluetooth wireless laser Mouse
Fortron Hexa 80+ 400W
Logitech - MX master Bluetooth wireless laser Mouse

The big thing for me is being able to handle decent-sized Adobe Photoshop files smoothly (we're talking about 500MB, maybe 3 or 4 open at once). I also want to leave room to pop in a dedicated graphics card down the road—nothing crazy, probably just something like a GTX 1050 or 1060. I'm debating whether to grab another 16GB of RAM right now, but I think I'll try starting with this setup first and just add more later if it starts acting up.

Any thoughts, advice, or critiques?

Thanks! 😁

I don't have health insurance right now, but I'm planning to sign up sometime in 2017. My only income comes from freelance royalties from overseas, so I don't actually pay any health insurance premiums. Because of that, I'm a little lost on how Medicare views me—do they just see me as unemployed or something else?

I found this on the Medicare website, but I honestly have no clue if it still applies after January 1st, 2017.

People receiving income classified as "other income" under tax laws (like contract work or royalties) can apply for mandatory health insurance coverage and gain insured status under these conditions: provided they aren't already covered by health insurance through some other means.

if they are residents or have approved permanent residency in the United States and
if, according to social security contribution regulations, they have made one-time or multiple payments within the last five years toward mandatory health insurance, totaling at least the amount calculated based on the lowest possible contribution base for a six-month period.

I know everything is still pretty fuzzy since the reform is so new, but I figured I'd ask if anyone might know... 🙂
