whatever reason, I don't understand quitting work if you can't afford to. I raised two children while working FT. I now work FT plus homeschool my children.
If deployed you get extra funds which should be enough to pay for childcare if children are not school age and also help catch up bills. There is also a liason to help out under such circumstances so there is help available.

Retiring transcriptionists
I retired at age 62 after sixteen full time years and twenty part and full time years. I worked in a fast-paced institution doing all types of transcription. Believe me it took a toll on my hands and wrists. I now suffer burning tendinitis in my right wrist with deQuervain tendinitis in my thumb.
yep, IC..and looking forward to retiring!
Hoping to get off the merry-go-round next year, am very hopeful anyway.... My New Year's resolution....LOL.
No, not retiring, just quitting this BS..sm
of a profession. Can't pay my bills, hungry and can't afford to buy groceries MOST of the time. I will just go to work as a waitress at the local casino as they even make more than what I have been making.
From what I remember many years ago, the retiring or leaving MD would offer or sell his practice to
another local physician, who would keep the old records until the patients decided to followup with him or someone else. In my case, my old GYN passed away and his practice was "sold" to another local GYN with all the patients records. I found out by chance and called the old number, which was being forwarded to his old office manager, who in turn would refer you to the new doc or get the medical records sent to whoever you wanted. If there is no number or you have no idea, you may want to try and contact your local Medical Society and see if they have any info on where to locate the old physician. In some instances, the records are just permanently destroyed. Hope this helps a little bit.
