Drop off in Visits for December?

[Guest guest]

Anyone else seeing a sudden drop off in visits with openings?Just curious.We were hopping during the H1N1 outbreak in Sept/Oct, then busy most of November.But starting early December, there was a sudden drop off in numbers.

2 other Family Docs in the same building have felt the same sudden drop.Last year, we billed out the same amount for October, November, December, but this December seems to be way slow.Anyone else?

Just curious if this is a regional thing or national due to the recession. locke, MD
