5 Years Out and Closed My Practice.

by Dr Z. (no login)

 

The students have no idea of hard it is to "make it" as a podiatrist. I had a "two year surgical" residency and worked at my solo office and I just can not make it.

I graduated high in my class. I kissed the right butts. I am a good surgeon and considered a nice guy.

If I knew that it was this challenging, I never would have listened to the schools and continued. They got my money; I got the debt.

Anyone want my practice? Let me know by Jan 31.
