My practice did well enough to allow me to completely retire from medicine at the age of of 55, but thanks for your concern. I am now 74, by the way, and spent the last several years of my career as president of our 12 person anesthesia group.

A good part of my decision to retire involved insurance companies and other non medical entities trying to tell me how I should treat my patients, pharmacies telling me which drugs were "acceptable" and which weren't (based primarily on cost, of course), and hospitals telling me which surgeons I needed to work with and when.

Thank goodness I do not have to work in today's environment

And I don't particularly care what GE thinks.
