In many ways a decent *salary* would seem the answer - a set amount I
mean without any of this IoS claims/HP etc business. Doing the accounts
for the practice I spend hours entering/checking/adding the figures on
the HA monthly "returns" - a single payment per partner would be so much
easier.
But, I like the flexibility to earn more - from medicals, teaching,
private work.
Being salaried is not just about having a decent income - it is about
freedom or perceived freedom.

It is the 24 hour part that imposes upon our home lives.
It is here most of us either give of ourselves or end up paying vast
sums to be free of this responsibility. Even then we are never truly
free.

10 minutes is about all I can take with many of mine ;-)
>4.No encouragement. When was the last time you were praised for your work?
Many of those who end up in medicine are characters who *need* praise
and reassurance to have confidence in themselves. This is not a *bad
thing* - just how it is. No child thrives without praise and
encouragement. And we are of the same nature - don't we often hear the
elderly say they still feel like a child inside?
