In reply to the discussion: I would like to make an announcement today: [View all]dawg day
(7,947 posts)A friend of mine sold his medical practice to the big hospital system here-- continues working but now at a nice salary, and his employees now all get better benefits than he was able to give. It's been a couple years, and his stress level has gone down a lot. The great stress for him was always the business part, not the medical part-- making payroll, dealing with the insurance company, etc-- so he's actually able to enjoy the patient contact better.
It's weird to hear him extol the benefits of being an employee after decades of listening to him decry the horror and awfulness of "socialized medicine" where most doctors are indeed employees of the system!
I hope you are already feeling more relaxed and can go on vacations now and take days off!
