Description

Unless you are just coming out of a coma, you are acutely aware that the economic situation is pretty bleak. Those of us living in the United States have seen the biggest financial set back, probably in our lifetimes. The effects have rippled throughout the global economy, driving markets down to levels not seen in more than a decade. Most in my age group have seen their investment portfolios set back as least ten years. For many of us retirement now seems like a far away fantasy. Fortunately most of you, like me, love our chosen field and will probably never completely retire. Although dismayed and (let's be perfectly honest) outraged by the actions of many of our incompetent, self-serving elected officials, unscrupulous financiers and a significant segment of the populous who feel that they are owed something for nothing, we will continue to move on and take care of the people who have entrusted their healthcare to us.
