Re: [APML] Payment for astrophotos

Bobby-

I represent a number of Docs in the Dallas area. If they are doing
"procedures" or work in any number of specialties, it is not at all unusual
for their annual net after expenses to be over $1,000,000.00. That will buy
some astro gear! :-) And most don't work 90 hours a week either. Medicare,
paperwork and all, was one of the best things that ever happened to most
Docs.
