A B.C. doctor wants his patients to fund his retirement.
Dr. Myron MacDonald sent a letter to his patients announcing his retirement after practising medicine in West Vancouver for nearly 50 years.
After providing his patients with some insight into his retirement plans, life situation and health, he makes an unusual request.
"At the last, a plea for funding for my retirement years," he writes. "At the end of the day, I did not make much money, and I have limited savings."
He said he understands most of his patients don't have an extra $1,000 sitting around, so instead he suggests $20 or $30 a month payment on their credit card.
He also included a form to fill out for monthly payments.
"Ironically most of my patients followed my advice and got better, which further reduced my income. Doesn't that take the cake!" he wrote.
Information from the Medical Services Commission says MacDonald billed $163,978.42 for services over the past fiscal year.
