Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

Signed, sealed and delivered, he's mine...
Nothing like working to a deadline.
July 1 is the start of our fiscal year. As such it is also the start of most new contracts for employment - especially for the physicians on staff.
Knowing this, I started on my contract negotiations for three of my docs back in January. Two of them signed on the dotted line back in April. The last one has been a holdout for weeks now. Weeks and hours of niggling negotiations and compromise agreements later.....I have a signed contract in hand with less than 48 hours to go.
I don't like lawyers as a rule, but the Chief Legal Counsel here has been my rock lately, and I couldn't ask for a smarter, nicer, guy. I may have to send him a gift basket or something.
