1.5 times as many doctors live on the Missouri side of the metro.

Not sure what Menorah moving has to do with anything. Unless the lone example you can find of an unsubsidized business move is a small religious hospital selling its campus to a prominent, major research institution.

Exactly where do you get your info that 1.5 times as many doctors live on the Missouri side of the metro? I don't believe that for a second. I work in healthcare and the vast majority of the doctors I know of live in Johnson County (as do a large number of the Chiefs and Royals players). And how are you privy to where doctors are living? I actually AM privy to that information.


Menorah was one example. I wouldn't call it small by any means.

^ I wouldn't question her. She probably knows a doctor or two that live in JO.

A lot more than one or two. Plus all their cohorts.

There are a lot of hospitals and medical buildings on the MO side. There has to be twice as many (seems like way more than twice) compared as JO County. You are saying all the doctors live in JO?

Where's MathGuy and his "whoppa whoppa" claims and demands for links, facts, etc. I guess that doesn't apply for people from Kansas...

I'm saying the doctors that I know of who work in hospitals on the Missouri side live in Kansas, yes. I know of a couple that live up north. Most live in Johnson County.

I mean if you are around this profession in Kansas, it would only make sense that you interact with those that either live or work in Kansas. So yea, a doctor "you know" that works in MO is likely to live in Kansas.

I guess the doctors that live and work in Missouri need to contact you and let you know that they live and work in Missouri.

Your viewpoint of this stuff is comical. It's just like teachers. You know some teachers so... Or you know some black people that live in JoCo so...

I would bet anything that more people in the medical profession live on the MO side than the Kansas side in metro KC and I would bet it's considerably more. That is just purely based on the population split and the pure number of facilities on the MO side compared to the Kansas side though. But it's a better guess than the doctors I might know.
