Yeah, and Lisa's a pathologist; she doesn't even get close to the level of "incentives" that the more lucrative specialties see. Docs in fields which use a lot of drugs get the *serious* wine-n-dine treatment. >That being said, were I a doctor, I'd be going on every such junket >offered to me and whooping it up! <g> Well, I think the American Society of Cytopathology is paying for Lisa's plane ticket & hotel. Tri-Path is only putting on the bash at the House of Blues. I can hardly wait. Saturday night in Chicago at the House of Blues. I don't have to wonder "will there be anyone good playing?" <g> (That said, I will be missing Tom Van Veen's band in DC tomorrow night!) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
