OK thet's me out. When does this new job start.
Certainly the main thing that ties me is that I feel I have put heart
and
soul into generating a good practice, modern building etc' and I find it
difficult to believe
that the rewards still remain so elusive and the hassles so great. I
like what I have created
with my partners and feel resentful that the only way out at present is
to have to give up this great sense of ownership one develops over 14
years. I actually enjoy most of the medicine but the system increasingly
rankles. I must say I hope that we do go the way of our dental
colleagues. From what I can gather, for most, their incomes outside
the NHS are no greater but their self respect and feeling of being in
control outweighs this.
