Eregon quickly quoth:

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.

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]

Agreed...it is good to live in a country where doctors just can't bury
their mistakes and move on to the next victum...err I mean patient.

If you have been paying attention, you will note that insurance
companies are now laying the groundwork to ship patients off shore for
medical care...all types of it. The little detail they forget to
mention to the patients is that if something goes wrong, there is no
recourse legally.

If you don't like it, you can always pay the total bill yourself.

ROFLMAO!!!

Shipping patients offshore?

People come to this area from all over the world just for the Medical
Care. G

If Jerry Lewis hadn't come to this area for his Medical Care he'd have
died over a decade ago.

Perhaps you are ignorant of the Texas Medical Center in Houston - the
"home" of the Texas Heart Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, M. D.
Anderson Cancer Institute, and many others.

You really should learn more about things before you start flapping your
mouth about them.
