In this episode, The Accelerators (Drs. Matt Spraker and Simul Parikh) discuss Matt's proposed composite quality of life measure for happiness of radiation oncologists. 

A lot is written on how to job search and evaluate the quality of a radiation oncology practice, but how to be happy practicing independently is less frequently discussed. 

Matt's lays out his theory for Rad Onc happiness, a composite quality measure made up of three components: technical occupational components (such as base salary and case load), fulfillment from career goals, and the "life" of work-life balance. In this discussion, Simul adds his thoughts. 

Creating a theory of happiness is a tall order to be sure, but at least it makes for great discussion!

Here are some things mentioned during the show:

• Evaluating a Practice in Radiation Oncology by Drs. Zaorsky and Trifelleti
• Office Space (a must see)
• Dark Side of the 90s on Hulu
• Jerry Springer (RIP)
