Periodically be seen with him thereafter. Then just keep on keeping on. I wish I had done that. I retired suddenly after a car accident. I sent all the patients a notice that I was closing my clinic and they could call me for records. A couple did call me, and I took care of them, whatever they needed. You could do that. When the time comes just announce that you are closing but that if anyone needs anything to call you, and give the number. A couple will call and you take care of them. If the bright kid turns out to really be an apprentice, let him take care of them. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
