"In medicine you don't really apply for a job you train yourself and you become a valuable commodity and then one of the blessings of medicine is you can pretty much pick where you want to live. I was told by my Father and others that there's always room on top. So if you've done the very best you can to train yourself you have the opportunity to live anywhere you want to live. Around family or away from family. Or in any climate you so desire there's always a place for a good physician. So that's one of the blessings of medicine. Sometimes with downturn of business you hear about people going bankrupt there's always a need to care for human sickness and suffering and degenerate changes so that's, those are some of the real benefits. Usually at the completion or near the completion of my training, of a training in a residency program, whether it be in surgery or in internal medicine or in cardiology or what have you there's an opportunity for us to interview with people who have expressed a desire to have new partners. As I've said before it usually facilitates your ability to live or work anywhere you want to. I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate in a group that was young and active and was growing and I began in 1981 here in Utah County and I've stayed here since that time. Our group is now 14 strong. We started with 3. But we started in a little trailer in Payson and now we have three offices, soon to be four offices. We work in three hospitals and two surgical centers. And it's been a progress of growth both in my capacity to take care of patients as well as in our clinics ability to take care of all aspects of orthopedics."
