You enjoy having the freedom of most weekdays free and every other week off entirely. You like to work from the comfort of your home office. While most work during the day, you will be enjoying the sunshine.Here, you will spend your time working with other physicians to increase the quality of life of elderly patients, minimize disruptive hospitalizations, and ensure quality care is provided to those that need it the most.You hate paying overhead, the headaches of billing and collection and need we mention the hassles of insurance companies? You still remember why you wanted to practice medicine--to care for patients.
