Not to be side track here but BERT, who is this: "Andrechuk"????

Is he just some big hockey fan from either Buffalo or Florida or do we simply have someone in the group with the same very unique name???? Or has Dave Andrechuk entered the practice of medicine post Professional Hockey at the Stanley Cup Championship level???? Or does he have and support a spouse like person like some of us here like yours truly over here???

I gotta say I really did like all the "Chuks" that were on the same team at once back in those days up here in Buffalo... Nancy used to call them "The Buffalo Chuks" there were so many guys with the same ending in their names it was pretty funny.... Dave Andrechuk, Clint Malarchuk, Howerchuk (spelling not sure of) I beleive even Eddie Olchuk might have been a part of that version of the team. I swear there was a 4th "Chuk" on that team back then....

But yes Medicine is a calling, and an art and no two artists are alike and it is more than "thru put" as it is a human relationship kind of art as well... Don't you talk to your hair stylist person and other people who you have a relationship with who work with yours and your family members bodies, minds souls???? So much sucks about this business and the most important part is to remember that the AMA and CMS have been in bed together via the RUC for at least 20 years colluding against primary care and other Office Visit, Cognitive Specialties in support of the weath and unfair advantage and gains of the Procedure based specialties.... What we need is Serious Increases with no extra crap tied to it, in Fee Structures in support of Primary Care so docs can slow down and do the great job that they are capable of doing if only given half the chance and the time and support with which to do it....

Gotta run but I have a new and interesting twist on this I want to throw out here, perhaps on this or another thread... Let me get my kids now....
