Margaret Campbell:  

Life Surprise. I am a physician living in Charlotte but working in S.C. (don't like commuting, but like the job). Did a stint in a traditional Internal Medicine practice, but real medicine isn't real fun these days -- unless you find a niche where the insanity of our health care system is masked or offset. So I care for patients in a nursing home; work in a clinic for disabled pts twice a week; and serve as medical director for a hospice. The pay is not so great... but I have a flexible schedule and lots of vacation time. And I can see patients for longer than 5-12 minutes when I need to (which is often).

(I went to med school b/c of our time at Duke Hosp.) My youngest, Patrick, is the only blonde-haired one of the bunch. He is known for his constant smile, his kindness, and his very high amount of energy (though he can pay attention if it involves reading Harry Potter books, etc). I have lived in High Point, Manhattan (I was a Theatre major at HPU and tried acting --mostly auditioning --for 2 yrs till my second baby was born and we moved back to NC), Durham (while attending Med School at Chapel Hill),Greensboro (twi...Expand for more
