But she did not work in my practice, thank the Lord in heaven. I had an awesome practice manager, who did everything. I just did my thing and she took care of everythng else.


I had no idea they were having tremors in E. Tennessee. Gatlinburg is probaby my favorite part of the state. It is just so beautiful there. Never heard of Quakefeed. Thanks for the link!


Wow that’s so cool you were just up the road from me at Vandy. That is my preferred IP setting.. I’m sure Surgery was too much to handle, it’s an unforgiving speciality. Certainly Dermatology much slower pace, yes, but still bad news for someone battling with cancer.

As someone who struggle with plaque psoriasis and now PSA you know how frustrating and just plain painful it is.

Yes , working with spouses is often a disaster. Glad you and you wife never had that issue. Does she still work ER ?? That was my goal to be a trauma nurse , but life got in the way.
