Overview

This is a Great Guide for Practicing Physicians and Residents. This book looks at serious questions regarding your practice no one ever taught you. Dr. Schultz explores and helps answer these important questions and adds a bit of humor to the process. Examples of questions include: Where to start a practice? - Doctor friendly states Is Workman's Compensation business worth it? Need more capital? Is bedside manner more important than skill? What kind of partnership is right for you? Is that patient making you sick? - Weeding out ""bad"" patients Is managed care here to stay? Is the dirty ""M"" word malpractice or money? What is the best for you: solo or partnership? Are there any winners in divorce? Is it ok for doctors to advertise?
