He I 535 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: I'm just was so happy with him and when COVID occurred. 536 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 2: It was kind of I think the moment in his 537 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: time where he was of a certain age where he 538 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: decided that it was time that he was going to retire. 539 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 2: And there's not a shortage of primary care doctors. We've 540 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 2: talked about that on the show. Matter of fact, we 541 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: had the dean of the University of Michigan Medical Medical 542 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 2: School on well this is going to be five or 543 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 2: six months ago, talking about the number of primary care 544 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 2: physicians who have left here in America and we're training 545 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 2: all these good kids at offshore medical institutions. We need 546 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 2: to have more medical schools in America. We have an 547 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 2: over abundance of law schools and we don't have enough 548 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 2: medical schools. What's wrong with that picture? 549 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 11: Well, it definitely is wrong. 550 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 2: Dan. 551 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 11: You know, when I was private care was just becoming 552 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 11: a hot issue back thirty years ago, and I was 553 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 11: in the first program to say Elizabeth, which was a 554 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 11: primary care program, and out of I think sixteen slots 555 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 11: for physicians, they were for primary care. So that was 556 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 11: the first onset to get more people involved with primary care. 557 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 11: But then after that, over the next you know, five 558 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 11: ten years, it just fell by the wayside. And here 559 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 11: we are there twenty more years later that you know, 560 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 11: with this quite a crisis in terms of the shortage. 561 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 11: Fortunately we thank the rest practitioners are stepping up and 562 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 11: helping out.

One of course, 607 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 13: celebrating Christmas with my family. But most of all, jan 608 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 13: I have a very strong feeling that next year, twenty 609 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 13: twenty six, is going to be an amazing year filled 610 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 13: with a spiritual awakening of positiveness and expressing our faith 611 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 13: and our love of God. And I really believe that 612 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 13: that's going to happen, and I'm looking forward to that because. 613 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: We need it. 614 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 2: Linda, I agree with you. I think we do need it, 615 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 2: and I do hope so for all of our sake. 616 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 2: Because I'm not the most religious person in the world. 617 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 2: But the church that I go to is a Catholic church, 618 00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: and there are two really young, very passionate priests who 619 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 2: are what priests should be. They were blessed to have 620 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 2: them in the parish, and I know one of them 621 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 2: fairly well, and I just am amazed that young men, 622 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 2: you know, these are men probably in their thirties, have 623 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 2: given their life to a vocation, and they have decided 624 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 2: not to have families and not to not to get married. 625 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 2: But these two priests are really priests that are great 626 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 2: role models. I'm not going to embarrass them by mentioning 627 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 2: their name or even the church. But they are unbelievable 628 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 2: a priest, and you realize that they have, you know, 629 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 2: forty or more years of the priesthood ahead of them 630 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 2: before they would have to retire, and because of the youth, 631 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 2: and they are just what the Catholic Church does need. 632 00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I too have a beautiful cat Tricks that 633 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 13: I go to and for the same reason. 634 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 2: Good yep, Yeah, Well, Linda, I hope you have a 635 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 2: great Christmas, and I hope the twenty twenty six is 636 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 2: better than that does have that spiritual awakening. 637 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 4: I enjoy you in that. 638 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 13: Threat yep, thank you, Dan and Merry Christmas to you 639 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,760 Speaker 13: and and your family. 640 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 6: God bless you. 641 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 2: Right back at you.
