I have received an offer to work for a primary clinic in town, and I have accepted.

I sent my acceptance e-mail off a few minutes ago.

My base salary is actually a little less than I was earning before, but the position comes with a generous signing bonus and quarterly production bonuses.

I’ll be working four tens a week, which means I get my extra day off to spend with Mrs. Aristus without having to take a pay cut to do it.

I’ve already met the medical team I’ll be working with, and I like them all very much, and they seem to like me.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement since I got laid off. I raise a glass in gratitude. I love you all…

a large firm. She received a payout of over $ m. Last week, she started a new position in a section of a primary. She is the managing partner of her office. She runs it and the supervising physicians practice is a couple of miles away.

I expect her to make another $million or so when she retires in a few years.


I hope your career is as successful.

Would land on your feet and I'm also very glad that you had a much deserved break.

Health care is hard.

Please keep taking care of yourself, Aristus. We love you.

So I'll still have some time to relax. But credentialing is a dense, tedious process, so I will be spending a lot of time on that.

Rounding up all of my documents (medical license, DEA number, etc.), making sure everything is up to date, downloading them, uploading them, frontloading them, ( ) sweating out the “Here’s a list of fifteen more documents we need from you” phone calls…

and on the same day I took the COVID vaccine. I also had my flu and pneumonia vaccines with the past few months so the only one remaining is for shingles.,

Anyhow, congratulations to you and I think that you will be okay with the four day work week. I know that I enjoyed the extra day of freedom when I had that schedule.

I recently got a new doctor and he's nice (omg he's a baby - just 30 yrs. old). I like him and he has been a lot of help!
