Thanks for the heads up; I totally missed the date.  Geeze.<p>He also didn&#x27;t mention the ACA, which should have been a yellow flag.<p>I have a relative in the pain management business -- and I do mean business.  He&#x27;s an internal medicine doc, making over a million a year, probably substantially more in fact, by focusing on a lucrative niche of people with whiplash, back aches, etc.  The trick is to process them through as quickly as possible.  He gets 40-60 patients a day, and each billing between $60 and $800 depending on the condition.  If you puncture someone, e.g. shot for sciatic pain, the billable is $800 to $1200. Pain pills might be worth $100.  With enough numbers, and keep the personnel costs down by using medical assistants, and you&#x27;ve got a really lucrative practice.
