I cannot say it is an easy life was my twenty plus years of experience found me as the County Coroner, Director of the local Health Department clinic, Utilization Director of a Nursing Home, running two offices, and even a full hospital practice with Obstetrics and Critical Units. But, I can say you can make it as much or as little you want it to be, from doing everything to making your schedule so you can be the coach of your children's basketball team. Little League Baseball, or Football team. I never missed my son's High School Football games, ( he was a four year starter) nor my daughter's Dance Competitions and her recitals since she was three years old. There is the challenge with the isolation from the Academic world, so I precept in a nearby city at the Residency Program. There might be limited or no hospital resources, limited or no ancillary services, but you learn the connections in nearby cities and Universities. Better yet, being in a small area everyone knows you, but you know them; you cannot walk through Wal- Mart without someone (or a dozen) waving at you.
