    No, only the accountant. I'm not related to any of the attorneys in the firm.

    The age-old question for those dreaming of "what if?"

    Of course, I had that debate in my head yesterday as I bought my tickets. I absolutely would not continue my job as it currently exists. I could see myself significantly changing the nature of my job to make it much less stressful and less hectic. I see about 450 patients/month which is a lot. I would certainly entertain the possibility of cutting that in half or less, being able to spend a lot more time with each person and not having the volume of paperwork and messages that I have now. Of course, that would likely mean paying the office staff and other expenses out of my own pocket because we wouldn't bring in nearly enough to cover costs. That could get messy and may not be worth the trouble.

    More than likely, I'd hang it up and retire.

      Steve, you're not thinking big enough. Say $300 Mil after taxes at a measly 2% is $6 Mil/yr. just in interest. I'm sure that'll cover any expenses you'd incur

        I realize that. It just seems silly to "work" if I'm paying all of the expenses out of pocket.
