From the Author
If you're a typical 21st-century doc, you're rushed, hassled, and getting discouraged. The good news: you're not the Lone Ranger; physicians and surgeons all over the country have contributed in this book their best ideas for simplifying and rationalizing your practice so you can return to the joys of practice (remember those?). THE SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN is divided into three parts: Time Management for Physicians; Knowledge Management for Physicians; and Relationship Management for Physicians. A self-diagnostic quiz at the beginning of the book lets you focus right in on the ideas you need most, and the whole book is user-friendly, easily accessible, and a joy to read (I'm told). If you use even one of the 140 ideas in this book, it could save you $20,000 worth of time and effort each year--a pretty good return on a $33 investment!
