How to be successful in practice



If you have been practicing for a while now or in the process of starting it, then I'm sure you have asked yourself this question. While we have ample information on materia medica and repertory and case studies, no one ever spoke of the nitwits of practice as a business. While I don't want you to start practice with a cut throat business attitude, completely avoiding it is a sure shot way to failure.

So while there is a lot on how to approach practice as business, on this first post, let's just stick to some very basic principles.

1. Think big
Nothing is more important than what you think of yourself. Every successful doctor has had to start as a novice, full of doubts and insecurity, but it is those who stuck to their guts and overcame their fears who made it to the top.

Homeopathy can't win, if a handful of doctors gave miraculous results, majority of us must. You can be one of them too. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

2. Charge decent
The first question everyone opening a clinic has is what to charge. Charge what you think you are worth. I'm not going to figure it out for you. But considering the locality, your immediate competition and the best doctor, think of an appropriate number and stick to it.

Don't be shy to ask. Just be sure to give in the best you've got for that person and you'd be glad.

3. Be committed
The difference between working at another's successful running clinic and your new clinic is the productive hours put into that clinic. So be there. Every single day. All 4 hours or 8 hrs or whatever time it is that you mentioned on the board. 

4. Put your 100%
Never give less than your best for every patient that walks into your clinic.
If you want to succeed, then you have to show results. Take whichever you want, specifics, polypharmacy, single dose, predictive, sensation, sehgal, anything will do, but give results.

5. Talk about your success
Don't be shy to talk about your cases, your results. Please don't lie. People will find out.

6. Document
Never forget to document your cases.

7. Testimonial
Have a good result. Take testimonials.

8. Ask for help
Finding it difficult, feeling stuck. Ask for help. No one makes it to the top all by himself, even though we want to.

She hugged and kissed me for it

Photo credit: Daily Mail . Something beyond the doctor and patient relationship. What's the best thing to happen to a doctor you think?? I had been treating a patient for irregular periods and PCOS since a year now. When she came to me initially, she was a very lively, cheerful, you know, the kind who calls you 'Hey Doc!!', meaning, generally very friendly. She was a breather to have in your tensed daily rote. She had been having irregular periods and was detected with PCOD and was coming around, but very slowly, to the extent that even she got worried. Believe it or not, that was worrying me too. In all of this, she got married, mostly because of parents. Being the adjusting type, she went along most of the time, but yet was suffering due to a few marital issues. It was so burdening, that once cheerful, she had turned a complete opposite and would come very sad and dull, hardly speech audible. Beyond her interpersonal issues, she was also under pressu...

Photo credit: Facebook The Predictive Chennai seminar was delight to the eager learners. Not only from the chief presenter, but many others too. The organizing team, Team HAPPH'Y TN, along with huge band of volunteers, were on their toes for the entire 2 days and their happiness at the success of the event was evident, as were they destined.  Guest of Honor, Dr. V. Gnanaprakasam, formwe Vice-Chancellor, TANUVAS INDIA, was a memorable orator. His speech was most motivating, especially coming from a allopathic veterinary practitioner. And many wondered on his role in a Homeopathic seminar and he himself chose to clear the air on his presence.  The history goes to a time, when Dr. Gnanaprakasam had been bestowed with a granddaughter who was born premature and diagnosed with retinal detachment and ROP in one eye.
