Gene,
Saw your note and wanted to respond while it was fresh in my mind.
I don't know your practice personally, but every Physician that I have met through this board have been the kind of folks I would take my own family to see; thoughtful, caring, innovative, pros that have time for the people they treat.
Besides that, these folks are accomplished individuals beyond just medicine, and have interesting stories worth hearing. Really.
I came away from ACUC this year realizing that for our line of business where we support providers and their practices, we are in the "Provider Care" business. Mainly because we get a lot of satisfaction from keeping the "magic in the box" so that providers can concentrate on practicing medicine.
Everyone knows it isn't the high margin business line, but it has all it own appeal.
Thanks for what you do, and consciously choose to keep doing, in-spite of all of the de-motivators. That goes double for the folks here that I have the pleasure of knowing personally. You know who you are.
