But without doctors, how would I know how to invest, which car I ought to buy, how I should remodel my home, which college my kids should attend, etc...

If I had a dollar for every doctor I know who told me about how he was going to make a killing buying into his buddies (restaurant, club, real estate deal, etc...), and consequently lost his balls on the deal, I could eat a nice sushi dinner for two - with loads of drinks.

I have yet to meet a group of people so easily separated from their money, yet so absolutely certain they're "one-upping" everybody they negotiate with. A healthy number are like partners in law firms - just stroke their ego, listen to them talk and smile and tell them they're right and they're in the palm of your hands.

Just don't litigate business issues between docs. Living hell. Worst clients ever. "Alligator arms" when it comes to paying.

Sometimes one puts his finger in my butthole. He seems nice.
