Dr. Arnold Kim may have the right answer. He was ahead of the curve when he started Macrumors.com in 2000 and has built enough traffic on his website to call it a career. No, he isn't quitting the website. He is retiring from medicine! Man, this dude is living my dream. Okay, maybe that is not all true. I have been practicing family medicine for over a decade and don't think I am ready to leave just yet. There are times I wish I had options, though, as the burdens of coding, billing, HIPAA, Medicare, OSHA, JCAHO and everything else just get too much. As you may have read in my comments in the July Reader's Digest, and even more importantly in the responses by readers, there is no place for doctors to complain or vent. No one wants to hear us. That is why I continue with the Placebo Journal. Now if I only got 4 million people checking on us each month like Dr. Kim then I would truly have to reconsider all my choices. People still wouldn't listen to me bitch but who cares, I would be rich.
