CEOs are like Doctors in that they have to make all of their money in a
very short period.

WhatEVER are you talking about? When's the last time you saw a
silver-haired doctor? I see pictures of them in the newspaper every
week. Most doctors have a 40 year run, minimum. (Unless they, too,
suffer heart problems like their patients.)


This past Friday - two of them, in fact.

While some continue as "Family Practice Specialists" [AKA GP's], the rapid
advance of medicine renders many specialists - including many Surgeons -
obsolete within 20 years.

So, do MDs in your area go out of business once their specialty has
run its course?


For that matter, large numbers of Specialists have elected to revert to
being GPs simply because of the insanely-high Malpractice Insurance
Premiums demanded for their specialities. [Neurosurgery, for example]

Ah, so they don't make money looking at 132 coughs, colds, sprains,
and abrasions every day...at $140 a pop? Poor guys!
