    I've been working from home for years. Almost everyone I work with does the same. We spend a lot of time on conference calls, and occasionally we have to go to client sites (I haven't been to a client site in over 3 years), but mostly we just work from home. It's a great arrangement. I could never work in an office again.

      99.9% of all I do could be done at home. I wish where I worked would allow that.

        I could work from home several days a week if I wanted to. Others that I work with regularly work at home two days and sometimes three days a week.

        My problem is that I find it hard to get enough work done when my wife is also home. She keeps finding reasons to interrupt me. Plus it's only two miles to work and I have better computers available to me there, so there are almost no advantages to staying home. I go home for lunch every day.

          I'm not seeing the problem.

            I saw this episode of the Big Bang theory. Very clever.

              I travel for client meetings and site visits about 50% and the rest is from home. I hope I'm never in an office again.

                Seeing patients from home... I could just imagine trying to pay attention to all the graphic details of various bowel movements while my kids are fighting over dinosaurs in the background.

                  When I first started with my company, I visited client sites exclusively. My last traveling gig, I commuted from Utah to Boston every week for a year and a half. In today's economy, clients aren't as willing to pay for travel. The bad economy has an upside.

                    Heck, as father of six, I did that all the time and I'm not even a physician.

                        That's mostly what I've been doing the last couple days.
