[HSF] Paper Journals in an Internet age.

[hgrmd at aol.com]

Dear Bill,
   I'm glad you have a professorship stipend that underwrites all of the free surgery that you do.  Apparently, you also don't pay your staff, rent, etc, either.  However, for those of us who solely depend on what we collect from the various payers, free work is truly free.  I don't mind doing my share, but I couldn't afford to pay my employees, bills, etc, if that free work became too large a percentage of my practice.  I wouldn't categorically say you were "doing all of them for free" unless you weren't drawing a salary.  In the end, somebody always pays.
Hal

I do all of them for free! The Professorship pays the salary and we travel 
around the world teaching and operating. Ask Prasanna, he has seen the result.
