President's Message

The Trials and Tribulations

of a Doctor

BY MIAN A. JAN, MD, FACC, FSCAI
PRESIDENT OF CHESTER COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY

"Hello, my name is Christopher Trojak. I am the son of Dr.
Joseph Trojak, a wonderful physician, friend, and human
being to many people in the West Chester area. Tragically,
my dad died the evening of Thursday, October 20th, a sad
loss to the world as he was truly a giving man with a huge
and wonderful heart.
While trying to cope with the unimaginable loss and tragedy
of losing my father, my mother, my brother and myself
have lost our jobs and total source of all our income. My
dad had a minimum life insurance policy that will barely
pay for the cost of his not-even-elaborate funeral. He had
no investments, no backup plans, and owns no assets. We
cannot even sell our house because the landlord at our
medical office has a lien on it.

DR. MIAN ARSHAD JAN

I hate to get on here in front of the world at this time of
incredible grief and ask for monetary help, it seems shallow
and degrading to me, but desperate times call for desperate
measures; in all honesty we are desperate."
- Christopher Trojak
I read this on the internet. There was a lot more said but
you get the drift. I was traveling out of the country when this
occurred. Reading this brought tears to my eyes. I had known
Joe for close to thirty years; he may not have been a great
business man, but not only was he a great doctor, he was also a
great colleague and a friend who always had a smile on his face
and I will miss him.
Being in a private practice myself I can assure you this can
happen to any one of us. If the CMS holds back payment or
some natural disaster like a fire strikes one can go bankrupt
in days.
