I am still functioning as acting CFO of our group practice---9 doc and 48 employees, so I still have contact on a regular basis. And this is a small town, so I can't go to the grocery store without running into 7 or 8 patients that tell me how much they miss me. It causes me to have some second thoughts, but with my loss of use of my arm, I wouldn't be able to work much anyway. So, I view the comedy routine as half therapeutic and half "public service"

As far as a sense of humor goes, there is a doctor working in TV, a partner of ours for 27 years, whose sense of humor puts mine to shame. He is just naturally very funny, too bad he doesn't really post on TOTV. He does look at this site from time to time, so he may see this. Don't let it go to you head

Ah, P&T - that brings back memories. Another of my favorites was the IRB. I could listen to discussions about the appropriateness of consent forms for hours.
