Bob Crimmins: March 2010 Archives

If addiction is a disease the I have a very bad disease indeed.  No doctor has ever been able to offer a cure.  In fact, many of the physicians I know also have the same disease are are similarly powerless to cure it in themselves.  Golf.  If you suffer the condition yourself you know it can be a non-trivial affliction. 

Physicians have long been attracted to the game and from the very earliest days of golf, physicians we're involved.  Here's a brief, fun history of a couple of doctor golfers who were there as the game was taking shape.  In more recent times, a number of physicians have made their way onto the PGA Tour and Champions Tour circuits and have won many events.  Even Golf Digest has a special ranking of the top-250 physician golfers

In recognition of the love affair with golf that so many docs share, when we added a travel benefit to iMX Advantage (the iMedExchange member benefits program) we started with a first-class pilgrimage to Augusta for the 2010 Masters in April.  As is, that trip package was the best we could find anywhere at any price.  But when we called our travel partner, Horizon & Co., and asked them what they would do for our physician members they rolled out the red carpet.  In addition to including exclusive iMedExchange-only amenities like a private car service from the airport and special concierge service on the course, iMedExchange members also get a huge discount of as much as $1,700!  If you are a physician who loves golf (or you know one that does) then you owe it to yourself (or them) to check out this incredible offer.  To learn more about this terrific opportunity, check out the Horizon & Co. offer in the iMX Advantage program page inside iMedExchange.
