Good luck with the 2nd interview. A fresh start in California...wow!! I miss Los Angeles so much. Have you thought about what will happen with the children and visitation if you move? It's a huge change for everyone, especially them. Keep us posted.
(((((Hugs))))
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.

Yay for you, my friend. Good luck on the interview. Whoo hoo - Park Aveune! Good things might be coming your way. Couldnt happen to a nicer guy. Let us know what happens.
FIB, Good Luck w/ the interview...I'm praying for you! I truly believe that God looks out for us....blessings come our way when we least expect them!
Continue to be the man that you are....you have a lot to be proud of!
And, you will be getting a "formal" one...but, Thank you so much! You are a very kind and thoughtful man! Wish you could have been there with us....looking forward to all of us getting together sometime!
Good luck on your interview! Spending 3-months in CA isn't so awful, especially in the fall months. It's gorgeous out here!
And, well...a plane can take you to see your babies on the weekends!

So FIB, I am trying to think of any hospitals on Park Avenue in Manhattan, but none are coming to mind. So are you thinking of leaving the hospital life behind you then?
The position would be with a 'very large' company that performs a type of cosmetic surgery. They are expanding and looking for another surgeon. It is corporate medicine.
I would have to give up my life as a general surgeon and, in doing so, would burn my bridges. I would give up the gift of healing sick people...I would give up the gift of 'saving someone's life'....I would give up 23 years of intense training, manipulating human physiology and the ability to enter a human being to stop pain and illness.
I would also be giving away:
stress
increased risk for being sued
inability to pay my bills
increasing demands on my time for diminishing income
status..some might look at this as 'bailing out'
ability to be home during the day..run home...get to events my children are in...becoming a 'straphanger' on the train into work everyday
being an business owner...I would be an independent contractor
I would gain:
evenings and weekends free..no more emergency room call
potential for much better income
uninterrupted weekends with my kids (when I get them now that my W has chosen to abandon our marriage)
no more emergency room call
much lower malpractice premium
freedom from running an office which is killing me with overhead, payroll taxes, etc
status as a 'Park Ave'MD
'happy medicine'..making a change in someone's appearance and making them feel better about themselves
As you can imagine, this is one of the most difficult decisions in my professional career.
