i live in MA and my doctor (LNP) is retiring. I congratulated her and asked her what she'll be doing with herself. She said, "I won't be putting in 75 hour workweeks anymore... buut i will still be here between 30-40 hrs a week working on a per diem." I had no idea. The lady is 67 and runs circles around me. I argued with her about beer and dental care. She's cool.
