Ranking the best physician golfers

Physicians still have time to golf in this era of too many junk lawsuits taking up their time, reimbursement rates and high debt loads squeezing their incomes down to nothing, and ungrateful patients demaning all their time?

How DO they manage it?

So you could afford to retire early despite all the “leeches”. Sounds like the only “leech” is you. The guy who made a whole bunch of money off managed care and is now bailing on his patients.

Must be tough to be a physician these days.

Not really. I am a radiologist. I became financially independent because of doctors ordering tens of thousands of defensive imaging procedures which had no purpose other than to avoid lawsuits filed by leeches like yourself. I guess I should thank you ambulance chasers for lining my pockets with money that didn’t need to be spent but I think I’ll pass.

There you have it – the very definition of a leech. And he probably missed multiple diagnoses as well.

Class act. Enjoy retirement!

I look forward to you needing my services. Drive carefully!

I’ve often wondered about the tort lawyer who suddenly gets really sick.

If he or she is well known in the community, do they worry whether they will get a “really fun test or procedure” just to be sure?

They probably assume physicians are professionals and will act in a professional manner. That may be unrealistic though, given the immaturity of many of the physician commenters.

I love how immune you all believe you are from ever needing a lawyer, and particularly for a personal injury claim. Your naivete is sweet. It’s like you think insurance companies exist just to make things easier for you and they can’t wait to pay your claim.

And enjoy wheeling your paralyzed self out of my office, since now that you’re unemployed, you really don’t have any economic damages, and I don’t feel like fighting an insurance company that wants to offer you just enough money to give to your past medical providers and you end up with nothing.
