Re: My GP lost my business.

[Guest guest]

Sounds like the right decision. I recommend an amazing book, The Lost Art Of

Healing, by my mentor and hero, Dr. Bernard Lown. He is the quintessential

caring physician. Will also post to the group a video of a keynote address he

gave last week at the Avoiding Avoidable Care conference in Boston.

Sad to say, but I made a decision to find a new GP today. The reason? Its

depressing to go to his office. Reception doesn't smile or make eye contact with

you. The doctor himself is about as personable as a fence post, making the visit

very uncomfortable. The people skills are lacking. So are the patients. His

waiting area is always empty.

There are plenty of Physicians out there that know how to smile, greet and be

friendly, showing a genuine interest in their patients. Good Doctors.

All of us, no matter what we do for a living are all in sales.

Thanks for the Link Barbara to Dr. Lown. Had time to get started but will finish watching later. I already like him very much. His words "shameful era" in reference to the old days with prolonged bed rest caught my attention. I do believe beyond any reasonable doubt that "Shameful era" of market medicine will be what the statin period will be referred to in the future.

Thanks so much for this link. I encourage all to view it, right to its end (the

best is saved for last).
