Doctor Toon,, A quick note, My doctor prescribed an alcholic drink every other day to improve my cholesterol ratio. My insurance refused to pay. (My friends all wanted the name of my doctor.)
Running a hot dog stand counts as drumming up medical business, doesn’t it?
I believe he got out because of the insurance companies and the malpractice law suits. I doubt Medicare had anything to do with it since they can easily refuse those patients and do.

Patience, twypsi. Wiley’s taking a break from that arc. My guess is that it will return next week.

BUt, if he sells the advice or offers some service, he can receive medicare payments, right?

Give the Ekert time to get out there and do its thing. I think it’s looking for Mel Gibson since it feeds on negative thoughts and emotions.

Biggest problems with retirement:
No days off or holidays. Stagnant pay. Certainty of termination.

Doctor: You have cancer. Patient: I want a second opinion. Doctor: You’re ugly, too.
