They can still be charged for a copy of their record, and its delusional in today's world to think that any person is going to be a loyal customer/patient for a lifetime.

I wouldnt count on selling many of these service packs...Unless they perceive a problem with their vision....And unless you charge a high enough fee,you wont get paid enough ,for the time involved in...
Too bad you have such a low opinion of your colleagues....Sounds like you treat your job like a hobby....I prefer to be paid for my services rendered....
