Maybe some day I'll own yachts and go to regattas too!!! or at least race them in bathtub

Also the funny thing now is i've always had a fear that her practice will go under and i'll be left with no one to help me. It perplexed me how she doesn't take new patients but i never actually SEE another patient. Also she gives me extra time every week. So the flip side of her being loaded is that she probably doesn't need her practice to be a cash cow and I will benefit from that.

I had a similar reaction when I stumbled across info on my Pdoc. I mean I knew he was the lead clinician at the Government clinic where I see him, and I'd already sussed out he was a good Pdoc as well, but then I'm finding out he's also a senior clinical lecturer, and he sits on the board that sets the University Curriculum for the next lot of trainee Doctors coming through, and he's a residency Supervisor, etc, etc. It was like 'oh wow, I've landed myself a freakin' awesome Pdoc with bucketloads of qualifications. *immediate panic* And when's it all going to fall apart, and I'll be left with noone to help me, again.

It took a while, and just mostly a lot of him being there and being consistent, but I got over that fear of 'This is too good to be true, when's it all going to end on me'.
