A lawyer who works at a big firm is like a doctor:  you make a lot of money, work a lot of hours and don't have a lot of free time.

I self manage and deal with prostitutes, overdoses, petty crime and burglary, flat tires, jump starts, wild animal intruders, trips to the doctor, and a host of other things too numerous to mention with my tenants.  

Although I tend to think of the pest control business as generally a whole lot shadier than doctors and dentists, it is true, as you pointed out, that we get diagnoses from people who have a potential conflict of interest all the time in our lives. 

Some doctors live paycheck to paycheck while some college-dropout retire early.

Visibility still has value and there will always be businesses that are willing to pay for that kind of exposure.Not only that, but some "retail" businesses such as nail & beauty salons, bakeries, restaurants, specialty stores and even service businesses (i.e. doctors, dentists, accountants, financial planners, etc.) have been relatively unaffected by the change.

These tenants also have a "therapy dog" that they have yet to provide a doctor's not confirming it's active service.

Keep that in mind - make sure your lease ends May 31st because that's how you get on the doctor cycle (so I've heard, I'm not renting to doctors, but I made sure to structure my lease so it renews then).  

She was having hip pain so on her way from last contract (Colorado) to new contract (Omaha) she stopped in to see her doctor in Colorado.

This morning I got a surprise text stating that "my wife is really sick, and she needs a service dog ... we will get you proper paperwork for the dog from the doctor".
