[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 550311, member: 6370"] Lisa, our 50 bed hospital in very rural Maine had an extraordinary staff. husband graduated from Johns Hopkins, where he had been Chief Resident in Diagnostic Radiology, an orthopedist had been the first woman Chief Resident at the Massachusetts General Hospital, two of the internists had been Chief Residents at Strong Memorial in Rochester, NY. A pathologist had been Chief Resident at Case Western Reserve in your state. These docs moved to that community in order to service those patients who needed them the most. Staff turnover was low. husband stayed there 24 years. He brought, to that 50 bed hospital, in-house ultra sound, CT, MRI, cardiac nuclear medicine, stereotactic mammographic biopsy, and US and CT guided solid organ biopsy All these physicians could have made twice as much money in suburban America. But they chose a different life for themselves and their families. I'm very sorry that you have not been blessed with such an institution. That makes me sad. [/QUOTE]
