A mid 70s chair who lived through the high reimbursing early IMRT years and had a decade or more a chair salary followed by the stock market earning nearly 15% a year for over a decade. Now wants to spend his golden years babysitting a linac for a few hundred bucks? Something went wrong.
Sometimes I wonder if these guys do this as a way to tell their old man stories to other old men because the coffee shop isn't open all day.
We all have those prostate OTVs where nothing is wrong but the guy wants to talk about his car or wife or cows or something for 30 minutes. I don't have time for that, but when the older locums come and cover for me it drives my staff nuts because apparently he does stay in there and shoot the breeze for half an hour and now there are 10 patients backed up.
