Physicians: Stop Complaining and Start Leading

2017-07-18T17:41:56-05:00

I'm intrigued by the number of articles written about the frustrations of medical practice. It makes for good reading, because it resonates with many physicians. From bloggers writing about maintainance of certification and regulations that are destroying medicine, to articles on KevinMD about burnout, physicians are not shy about complaining. But maybe it's time to stop complaining and start leading. If you stop in any hospital doctor's lounge, you will certainly hear a lot more complaining. We complain about [...]

It's a poor management technique that wastes time, fails to utilize our staff’s full potential, and causes resentment and frustration in those being controlled. … the highway!

We signed a loan agreement and purchased the device. It would take 5 years to pay back the loan. We were convinced the device would generate procedures that would easily cover the loan payments.

Pursuing Resilient Physician Leadership

2017-05-02T16:25:49-05:00

My practice had become a burden. My patients seemed annoying and overly demanding. I was living alone in a small duplex, feeling isolated.
