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?

As I said before, some continue as "Family Practice Specialists" while
others do other things.

A lot of them go into Agriculture, the rest tend to go into Politics. G



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!

You must live in the Peoples' Republik of Kalipornia - the average GP
office visit around here is $35 and that gets split between the GP, his
nurse(s), and the clinic.
