Doc's Life.</p><p>About the Author<br />Richard W. Wolfe D.O. had an amazing event occur in 1988. Two optometrists came to his office one day wanting to buy it. They had lost their lease on a space in a nearby mall. Wolfe had been in general practice for ten years and made rounds at three hospitals: delivering babies assisting surgery on his patients making nursing home visits and dealing with the business aspects of patients' insurance being an employer and maintaining an office. He gave them a price (high) and they accepted it. A family practice physician soon offered to buy all his clients and a family practice resident about to finish his residency bought all his equipment. Wolfe had been contacted by several E.R. contract companies and thus started 33 years of E.R. work which he has thoroughly enjoyed. He was part of seeing E.R. work go from moonlighting into real medicine as it is today. </p>
