Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 second attempt. I am amazed at the idea of negative income in a micropractice. I have reached the highest level of income in my career after 6 months. I work 3 half days a week and get approx 1K per 1/2 day (7-9 pts/per half day) so 3K per week and 150K/yr. I do not feel I need a vacation because this is an incredible way to practice and I feel I am on vacation much of the time. Why is this possible for me?? 1) Deliver what people want and you will have more business that you ever dreamed possible. Check out my under construction web page www.idealmedicalpractice.org and click under " Community Vision " ASK WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS AND DELIVER IT - a simple formula It works!!! I deliver 90% of what people want here in Eugene, OR. My patients consider me a godsend and sometimes I feel more like a shaman(cross between a doctor and a priest according to Websters) than a doctor. People are interested in more than a doctor/mechanic pushing allopathic medicine. 2) LOW overhead to the EXTREME ($600/mo) by way of 50% off malpractice insurance working 1/2 FTE, cheap rent ($300/mo), Free EMR - homemade on my own laptop apple computer, no staff. I even sold my car as I can now bike to my office and to the hospital. IF someone is experiencing negative income I believe they may want to consider how to further cut expenses and whether they are offering the type of services their community desires. Do a poll. Ask folks. It has been a very simple formula. Pamela Pamela Wible, MD Family & Community Medicine, LLC 3575 st. #220 Eugene, OR 97405 roxywible@...
