This is to let you know how pleased I am with EPA after my first year of full employment. Most of my encounters have been with you and Dr. Kuhlmann and I couldn't be more pleased with the cooperation I have received. You have accommodated my requests for time off and I haven't ran into any scheduling problems. I am very pleased with my decision to change from Family Practice to Emergency Medicine. At this point in my career, I am pleased not to do daily rounds and receive calls at all hours. With the current volume of patients at this ED, I am allowed to do 24 hr. shifts so I have several free days every month even working 240 hrs. I truly feel I am semi-retired working full-time.
