    Dirty doctors...

    Some of you may recall my bad luck in choosing cardiologists in the past...The first one lost his license to practice after his girlfriend died of an overdose of drugs which he illegally prescribed for her...The second served three years in a Federal pen and had to repay 2.5 million bucks for his part in a Medicare/Medicaid scam...Today the news broke that two more local doctors were arrested on charges related to overdose deaths...The older of the two was my Mom's doctor for a very brief period when her HMO assigned him to her...Neither of us liked him at all, and she got another doctor right away......Ben

    Spousal Unit is an RN.. all seven doctors in her practice are good people ( goofiness and bedside manor were not rated in this survey).. but... you should hear the stories (gossip) within the medical community!

    My problem is that my doctors have all gotten old and retired.. even my barber retired!

    There was one doc near them.. was thrown out of an orthopedic practice.. he opened a pain clinic.. and lived quite nicely.. and then went to jail..

    My original dermatologist was a great guy.. and then as he got old he became a conspiracy theorist.. after an appointment, I’d spend hours on google trying to find out what he was enlightening me about..

    I've always heard that you should choose a good doctor who's young enough to outlive you...I've used the same barber almost 40 years, but she said when she retires she's willing to make house calls for selected clients......Ben

    My barbers have all outlived my hair, as have I.

    My hair has turned snow white, probably from all the lack of activity under it......Ben

    Better to turn white than turn loose..

    My beard not only turned White it is now soft and very curly.. let it grow out when I was having my knee replacement, I looked like big shower scrub puff thing ..

    First trip to the now retired barber.. the clippers clipped it off!
