Living and Practicing . . . by design.
This story begins with my not so unique fascination of what makes things work, most especially human beings. In reality, mostly how we, as physicians and healthcare teams of all disciplines help fix them when they break. Why have I, and those who follow the systems we design and advocate the lifestyle choices we choose been so successful at this?
Because it's not just healers knowledge, but also everything about us that patients sense, trust and embrace. Unspoken dialogues that let them know they are in the right place or not. There are great academicians in all the healing arts with terrible manners that repel patients. We all have had some of them as instructors. Now too many "review" insurance claims.
Now, as DCs our profession risks losing that position, because way too many are afraid to take a strong stand. Our forefathers who went to jail for practicing healthcare by these very same principles now weep at our softness.
But, as a caregiver, all of this can be extraordinarily stressful, and economically unfeasible without excellent systems.
You can lose yourself in the process, and wind up resenting your chosen path.
Or, you can focus on what's most essential to you in life, and deliver services to your patients in ways that fully supports them. Live a phenomenally enviable lifestyle, while advancing humanity as the "beast" destroys itself.
And that's what this book is about. These are my short takes on preserving the fine art of private healthcare practices, no matter what letters follow your name.

?Inspiring For Those Doctors Who Feel Called into the Profession? 4 stars
There really are doctors who are dedicated to serving the sick. There really are doctors who refuse to be dictated by the protocols of insurance companies. If you are one of those doctors, you will enjoy this book. Perhaps you are a doctor who values the bottom-line too much, you need this book.
Dr. Hayes explains in practical terms how to be a successful doctor, specifically one in your own practice. He touches upon staff issues, technology issues, and even the importance of maintaining your own health.
The chapters are short. The style is enjoyable. This would make a great gift. This book is inspiring for those doctors who feel called into the profession.
