<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 505451, member: 16060&quot;]Do I ever think of giving it up? No I don&#039;t, but i do take breaks evey so often.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if anyone noticed, but I haven&#039;t been active here for a week or so. This will probably continue for awhile longer, then I&#039; ll be back to normal in all but aspect, but it is major. I buy my coins from totally disposable income and that is certainly being reduced due to the economic time we are in. A lot, probably most, think the medical field is immune from economic situations such as the one we are in now.&nbsp; Well, that is not true.&nbsp; A lot of people are foregoing othopedic type suguries now due to copays with their insurance or a loss/reduction of their income which can result in a total loss of insurance. There are people that should be seeing their doctor and are not. Unfortunatley they will eventually worsen.&nbsp; I am already seeing people not buying their medications and ending up in the hospital more than I normally do. The hospital I work at has quite a few of orthopedic procedures and there is a noticeable reduction.&nbsp; The part of the hospital I work in we don&#039;t get a lot of these patients, only if they have a history that might need specialized care (usually cardiac related), the surgery didn&#039;t quite go well (usually abnormally high blood loss), or a problem either new or part of their history emerged.&nbsp; I&#039;m fairly certain now is not the best time to work for a plastic surgeon since virtually all of that is elective and the majority getting that sugery is middle class, not just movie stars. Am I in a financial crisis? No, but my hours are being cut and with that goes a reduction in disposable income where all the &quot;fun&quot; things get paid for.&nbsp; I guess I&#039;m going to be in a &quot;coin crisis&quot; for awhile.&nbsp; I got two coins at the Fun Show in Orlando and are a little weaker than I would have liked.&nbsp; I would rather wait and get what I want rather than reduce the grade of the coins. Not saying that is right, just the way I am. My son and I are currently roll searching for his Memorial Cent collection he wanted to start after the Orlando show. Just to add we are doing quite well now.&nbsp; We are finding a wheatie about every 2 rolls and he is really enjoying it as well as me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
