"My first impression of Dr. Barker is that he pushes himself and his staff extremely hard in order to see as many people as he can. One of the people on his staff, Dale, told me that Dr. Barker has a mission to help as many people as he possibly can, and that's why he does see so many people. I hope that's right, and that he's not just trying to shake the money tree as hard as he can while the getting is good. My latter impressions haven't changed much. I think he's probably a very competent surgeon, but I still think he works himself and his staff at an exceptionally hectic pace. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Having very little experience with hospitals, doctors, and the medical field in general, this may well be the norm."
