Like your family doctor doing all the specialist procedures as well? Doing your testicle check one day and a knee replacement the other day?"20:33 "Insurance is the moneymaker. You want to really make money? Go into insurance, I guess?"39:42 "The people getting a Range Rover or BMW less than a year after residency... most of the time they have a rich spouse or come from a very wealthy family. You don’t just graduate and get a Beamer, let me tell you. From my personal experience, I wanted a Cybertruck, and I’m in my 2nd year out of residency and I drive a Kia.
