[PrvPracNP] need to sell medical practice

Sat Jul 7 23:01:29 PDT 2007

To List serve:

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner in Southwest Louisiana with a RHC in a
small town and have a great practice but my health is failing (a little bit
before the hurricanes and then the hurricanes about did me in) and my son's
last year in high school is soon approaching and soon he will be heading to
college in Baton Rouge and my husband and I would like to move a little
closer to him than we are now.  Plus my daughter and her husband moved to
Denver where he received a promotion and now she is working in a huge trauma
hospital ER as an RN and absolutely loves it and we are going crazy with
loneliness and would like to visit more than we are able to at this time.
Anyway, I would like to sell my practice lock, stock and barrel and the RHC
would just be transferred over to whoever bought it once we filled out the
papers and sent to DHH.  Good town for retirement.  Close to much fishing
and hunting.  Lots of festivals around and the food is to die for - actually
it is the best anywhere but so full of calories that you have to watch how
much you eat or you might succumb to that which is not healthy - but
delicious all the way  - boiled crawfish (are not bad for you at all - but
the beer and sauces we make and drink to go with it and the potatoes and
corn with lots of butter and seasoning-yum!), jambalaya, gumbo, sweet dough
pies, boudin, seafood margarita, fried chicken, turnip greens, pecan pie,
country ham, chicken fried steak, grits, biscuits, sweet tea, catfish,
cornbread, bread pudding, okra, butter beans, and moon pies, boiled peanuts,
key lime pie, mint juleps, fig pies and cakes, syrup pies, chow chow, pepper
jelly, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, okra, bread and butter pickles,
broccoli casserole, eggplant-tomato casserole, etc (to name a few).  A small
town charm.  I hate to leave, but cannot forsake my health.  

Therefore, if any of you know of someone who is looking to retire and still
work a little, this would be the place.  For NPs or PAs, working together
and having a doctor that would collaborate with them, a mint is waiting,
doctor only needs to come in every two weeks to make sure all is right and
sign a few charts (no number required by state board of nursing or Medicare)
and off the doctor goes while NP/PA work and rack in the cash.  If a
physician wanting to slow down, work less, hire a few NPs or Pas, appear
every 2 weeks to look see, sign a few charts (no number required by state
board of nursing or Medicare) and hunt and fish the rest of the time.

I am looking to sell asap as my health continues to decline.  Will sell to
bidder who meets my price with cash in hand first.  Price negotiable, but
price in mind will be have to be met.  I am getting a market analysis now.
The building is 6000 sq. ft., at one time was home to 4 doctors, each with
their own pod.  Office is fully equipped.  Office has a totally new roof
(thank you hurricane Katrina/Rita). The office back parking lot is also
blacktopped..  We offer a main street address which is the only address in
the area which will be approved for  RHC and any future FQHC plans which are
quite possible and actually being worked on right now with plans on applying
for a grant to write for the FQHC which carries with it a $650,000/yr budget
the first year to run the clinic (I have not done this thus far mainly
because of my poor health and lack of staff to write the grant for me - once
they learned how of course!).   I now have someone from ULL in Lafayette who
has volunteered to help get a grant writer for me and will help with filling
out the application, so I am excited about that possibility.  

I love the clinic and want it to succeed because I love my patients and want
them to be taken care of when I leave.  So I will do everything in my power
to keep the clinic going and that means selling soon.

Thank you all for being good "listeners",

Depakote requires blood draws and teenagers as well as children, balk
greatly at this necessary intervention.  In addition, the added weight gain,
a significant side effect in Depakote, effects the ego status of the child
and teenager as well as the health status.
It is definitely a good mood stabilizer, but Topamax is far superior in
effect, compliance, no need for blood level monitoring and lack the side
effects that impact weight gain .
