Now, I hadn’t had a card yet, and John hadn’t had a card yet. (Audience laughter)

ACEP Now: Vol 37 – No 03 – March 2018

Nobody was really a card-carrying member yet, and this guy insisted.

He gave me $50, gave me the application blank all filled out. And I said, “Well, I’ll have to take it back to the office to get it printed.”

And he said, “No, just write on it. It’s OK.”

So I wrote “Robert Ersek, MD.” Gave him one of these punch-out cards.

JR: And he gave John $50.

JW: The first $50 that really came from membership. Do you know what he was? He was a neurosurgical moonlighting resident of all people. (Audience laughter)

JR: He never showed up again!

JW: No, we never saw him again. (Audience laughter)
