You were right about a bunch of stuff by the way- in short, taking an inpatient hiatus, mostly related to hospital ineptitude. Sort of enjoying it. Not certain I’ll go back.

Gave me more time in clinic and didn't have to deal with interruptions from hospital during the day. Greatly increased profits with less hassle and better quality of life. It's getting damn near impossible to have a hospital practice and see patients. You're right, ineptitude on the part of the hospitals, their staffs and many new specialists killed me. Patients get used to it. I had a few change doctors, but not enough to matter. Gave me more time to build my industrial medicine practice. More money for your time, no insurance except occasional comp claim and get paid billed amount. I'm selective about my companies and won't take just any.

I've been very tempted to just do industrial medicine and go cash only for everything else. I could reduce my staff and overhead by 75%, and make more money. I'd hate to leave most of my patients without a PCP and let employees go, but as overhead climbs every year and no real re-imbursement increase in like 15 yrs, the decision may make itself.
