My internist, My Chief Doctor, left the clinic because he had no control over the number of patients that he had to see.

He does not accept insurance because he wanted to cut his patient load. Yes, he knows me by first name. And now that he is out of the clinic, he will get to know me better.

He's an interesting doc. He has a Ph.D as well as a degree in medicine. He is an internist with a speciality in arthritis. He treats many people who, like me, have chronic pain. As you know arthritis does not cause my pain. He is concerned about the heavy pain I've been having but that is because of the gardening. I've had to dig holes for about 50 perennials. I've added 12 roses but I only planted 5 myself. So I have to go back in a couple of months.

Butt, you can understand why heavy patient volume would wear him out ~ eventually.

He's in his late 40s or early 50s. He has an excellent reputation, and even though his patients have to pay up front, it is difficult to get an appointment with him. My insurance will reimburse me 50 to 60% of his office fee, I imagine.

My endocrinologist is with the clinic ~ still. I wonder if he will stay there. Maybe, he will leave as well. I hope not.
