I guess this is one of those times where I am looking to hear what I want to hear. But, it is still good to hear others and learn. And, it gives me a different perspective.

David and I have disagreed on a few things before, but here I think this is the smartest thing he has said. My staff says I'm crazy. They tell me they hated leaving, and they REALLY liked me. And, Gene is right, they probably should do the business decision.

But, I think part of that decision should not be, "We'll do the right thing business-wise and we will get less care, but we can always go back."

The decision should be, "We need to do the right thing for us financially, but we have to accept we are losing the best pediatrician in the area." (That is from their perspective when they left, but it is true nonetheless."

Thanks to everyone. I'm sure there will be more.

David, thanks.
