Dear Cali Chica:

You remember the great fall of Jan 4, I believe it was, not on ice- fell carrying a trunk of a tree. Thank you for the reminder, as snow somewhere around is the forecast today.

I read your post slowly and carefully. Dr. T is probably not completely honest, his father had a stroke, probably true, but it might not be the reason, or the main reason why he wants to phase out of the practice. If his plan to phase out depends on finding a replacement (your husband), then he is motivated to lie by commission or omission.

Regarding the over head costs- isn’t this information something you already have, and therefore you are already aware it is very high?

I wonder if asking Dr. T about his thoughts about the overhead: is it to determine his motivation (check if it is not his father’s stroke primarily), to check if he lied?
