Not the extremem abuse of working ER. <BR/><BR/>So what now is the big question? I once dated a guy whose brother was the Doctor for the Bruins. That would not be a bad deal. Also they need Doctors on Crusie ships and they want western doctors. One of my Doctors at work only does the assists for the C-sections and the occasional delivery. He has a good position.<BR/><BR/>And don't they need chiefs of medicine all over the place. I know at my hospital the chief of med did very little med and lots of visiting and smiling. But he was a good SH!t.<BR/><BR/>Hey, you are reasonably entertaining. You could do seminars. I think the seminar folks make a decent coin.
