    Very good article. Thank you.

    Opportunities are all around us. Perhaps not near the scope of leading the allied armies in Western Europe during WWII, but they are there none the less.

    I really like the advise on networking: “Genuinely appreciate the company of these others…”. A key to networking is the same key to enjoying your patients; you have to like people.
