good reasons, so a lawyer tells me. And that is the end of it. lawyer didn't
say what the legal reason was though. anyone know?

This is the fundamental point of disagreement. I believe that if you
want to be part of a successful business, to expect to join and ride on
the back of the success of other Drs, it should not come free.
We lobby for a pay scale that matches Lawyers and Accountants, yet they
have even more difficulty getting Partnership status that equates work
load with reimbursement.
I too am 43, so as for being too old to start a new practice, what a
load of cobblers. The main reason I took on the challenge of creating a
new practice was so that I could define and control my own work load and
ensure that I did not run the risk of "burn out". If you think that at
43 you are too old then it sounds as if burn out has already set in.
Does anyone know if there are any moves to allow for "Sale of Goodwill"?
