to deal with running a business, the grind of seeing X patients a day (which you know you need to do), trying to collect your money after you've done the work, etc Yeah, it's hard. Also, as far as money goes, you're the last in line. Employee salaries and all other overhead costs must be paid first. During times of economic uncertainty and increased unemployment docs take a hit. In the early 90's I had a year or two when I had to dig into a borrowed dime. I had my practice for 25 years - gave it up about 3 years ago. My patients still keep asking about me, and I keep in touch with some. Yesterday my wife and I decided to act: Message 25727419 Would be a pity to walk away now, after having accumulated all those tons of experience. Nowadays, a part time practice won't pay for the overhead, so that's not really an option. I have some some ideas, but not sure whether they are realistic. Will take a little time, read more books - and think of things. Good thing that I figured out circa 1980 that RE was good value... :)
