Reading VK's post I was reminded of an earlier post about total number of patients that could ultimately be served by TV Healthcare. 64 PCP X 1250 patients each=80,000. If you exclude seasonal residents that may have physicians back home, that does not leave many patients for the doctors that have been here practicing in some case for over 10 years. Many of them are still paying rent to the developer or mortgages to the banks for the buildings/offices they occupy. I think we may see some leaving the area or retiring earlier than planned. This reminds me of the statement, "if you like the doctors you have, you will be able to keep them". Maybe not.
