On Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:46:56 GMT, with neither quill nor qualm,
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.- Hide quoted text -

Now who is flapping their mouth about things before doing his
homework? ;)

Be sure to thank your insurance company for putting profits before
your welfare.

He elected to go there - he wasn't required to do so.

One good reason that he might have made such a decision would be to keep
his employer from learning the results.

Another good reason would have been if he'd wanted to deduct the travel
expenses from his Income Taxes, including his "stopover" in Bangkok's Red
Light District. grin

If THAT was the reason, he'd have even more reason to conceal the actual
purpose of his trip: AIDS treatment.
