“Were you warned?--Were you told?--Do you care?--
Wouldn't you kill to discover the secret to
financial freedom that has been hidden in plain
sight by all medical schools in our nation for a century? ”
The first clue that might have been fixed in your mind about how our government has carefully been planning and gradually gaining full control of the banking system, postal delivery system, the transportation systems, the taxation system, etc.
You must also be aware of how our politicians have planned and strategized incessantly for several decades to get control of our national healthcare system and have essentially done so since the passing of the healthcare law (the one that was over 5000 pages and the democratic congress was quick to tell all congress members that, "You can read the law and figure out the effects of the law once we have passed it." ObamaCare they called it.
Our progressive government members haven't quit the struggle because they have one more step to gain total control of our healthcare. The hangup problem for government is that there still exists a shrinking element called "private medical practice." The predators know that it is impossible to take full control of our healthcare as long as there are patriotic physicians still out there who have a strong belief in the freedom to practice medicine as they see fit, who still are somehow tolerating the beatings they are suffering from the government to force them out of such thinking and beliefs.
More than what I believe, it is absolutely documented and provable. If you prefer to remain business ignorant and hope your financial situation will improve by some miracle, I wish you well.
If you are an intelligent physician as most of us are, I ask only for you to read the following and make your own decision.
“Medical professional poverty” is controlled and mandated by our politicians in congress and directly facilitated by all medical schools and sanctioned by our leading medical scholars since they already are aware of the consequences that have continued over the last century and have done absolutely nothing about alleviating the problem or preventing the financial problem from happening to all private medical practice medical doctors.
The bedrock tradition and foundational myth that “Physicians do not need a business education to practice medicine,” continues to be the unfathomable perception in medical tradition. This divisive reasoning that all medical students are universally able to create, manage, and perpetuate a successful medical practice business, although 98% of graduating medical students have been and are today business ignorant, is unconscionable.
Such irrational reasoning not only has not remained appropriate to the advancement of our national economic advancements in all businesses, but also has become the weakness of the medical profession susceptible to our government’s political agenda for the complete takeover of healthcare and the medical profession training purely for financial and control reasons.
Why have thousands of medical doctors lost their private medical practices for financial reasons over the last century? You know and I know.
The fundamental structure of socialized medicine, now often considered better for our nation, requires our government to first eliminate all forms of private medical practice within our borders, which is today well on the way to destruction of private medical practice.
The obvious second step in that present day “push” for socialized medicine by our politicians will be to restructure the medical education curriculums in all medical schools as well as the infrastructure of the medical profession itself. That control will surely become architecturally, and have all the charm of a correctional facility/prison.
Can you imagine the number of problems that have been happening in European countries with socialized medicine and that may very well be formalized in the USA? You likely are wondering, why socialized medicine continues to be dominant throughout Europe for so long. It must be because the citizens love it. Do physicians love it? Do you think?
It reminds us that when a government controls healthcare for a hundred years, as in Europe, that as each generation of population die-off, new generations are ignorant about what other countries' healthcare methods have to offer. Also, once a government controls some aspect of health services, changing it is nearly impossible. Citizens have no power to change it even in a democracy format, such as our nation.
The natural instinct is to learn to tolerate what is forced on them by the government and not uprise against it. They are ignorant enough to believe that the government knows best.
Do you have any idea of how many physicians have left their countries to practice in America or Canada? Or have any idea of how many Canadian physicians have left Canada to practice in the USA? The numbers are higher than you may think. Why would they leave their own country just to practice medicine here? There are many reasons for that, which are the same reasons that American physicians don’t move to their countries to practice.
The logical and primary reason is to benefit from higher income opportunities and higher levels of living standards.
Why our medical profession is descending rapidly into “Medical Professional Poverty”
Be clear about the fact that all medical schools in our nation are surviving financially under the financial subsidies, grants, and collusion with our government's support—taxpayer money. Universities and colleges are shrouded in the same dependence on the same give and
take methodology.
Are there any medical schools in existence that financially pay their own way? I think not.
Such financial interactions supersede the ability of medical school’s accountability to act on, or upgrade, curriculums that are matched to the economic environment we live in and relieve those troubling factors.
Factors such as the profound studies that document the decreasing net incomes of private physicians, the increasing numbers of governmental medical fee restrictions, and medical practice mandates that have an exponential effect on most private practice physician’s frustrations with private medical practice (over 65% that will admit it) and the widespread and increasing physician attrition in our nation. These are the most destructive factors affecting physicians and our
national healthcare.
The majority of physicians today in private clinical medical practice are quite aware of the rapidly increasing number of foreign physicians living here and practicing here. It tells us that as the attrition of American physicians increases, the vacant gap in American physicians leaving medical practice is being filled with foreign medical doctors. Why aren’t American males applying to medical schools anymore?
Hasn’t anyone in this medical practice profession or healthcare industry taken notice of all this downgrading of our profession? Do they even question why it is happening? Do they even care? If they do care, it hasn’t been in the media, headlines or announced by the medical professions.
These questions should be piercing the minds and hearts of the elite medical education scholars, who likely stand there and do nothing much about it. Even worse, they haven’t done anything significant to correct the causes of such overwhelming suppression of the private practice physician’s incomes for a century. What about removing all fee restrictions and ending all private physician mandates?
What’s the cause and how can it be fixed?
The journalese effectiveness and pointing of the unethical gun (tradition) has been a common way to intimidate both premed and medical school students for decades into accepting whatever is handed to them without questioning the validity and effectiveness of outdated tradition.
As a result of the acceptance of medical school tradition as a permanent and universal guide for incoming students, our elite medical schools have intentionally undermined the efforts of all medical students to learn the most critical education required for attaining their ultimate potential in their medical practice careers, without them ever recognizing it.
Without a doubt, the fact that a lack of academic business education has been and continues today to be the primary destructive force within the medical profession education system and all physician’s careers. The lack of a business education of medical students as well as practicing physicians is evidenced by multiple factors that are obvious to most everyone who has a functional mind. Medical education scholars have known what has been lacking for decades and permitted the problem to persist, for unknown reasons and without public explanation.
The simple fact that neither premed students nor medical students have never been informed in any direct manner about the advantages they would have in their medical practice business and careers by medical schools or even by their subordinates, should be considered a stinging outrage that supersedes the notorious “monkey trial” of John Scopes, a teacher who taught the theory
of evolution.
So, I ask, “Why has that abusive tradition regarding medical education of all medical schools in our nation considered to be enough," as it has remained so for a century?” There’s more to this business
education deficit.
Classic requirements for any type of business success in the world today continue to be purposely kept secret from medical school students, who will go out into their medical practice business, and all will become the victims of not ever knowing what was kept from them—the option for a business education and what it has to offer.
The alternative would be for medical schools to make an academic business education a requirement for applying to medical schools. Even that is a problem. If you interview all medical students who already have an MBA degree under their belt, they will tell you the same as they told me. An MBA is far too superficial in depth of learning business and marketing to be of use by physicians in clinical private medical practice.
Most medical school students are completely clueless about the intricacies of business principles and marketing strategies in any reasonable depth. They will only begin to recognize the necessity of that knowledge while connecting with physicians while in medical school rotations. And it would be the ideal time to take on such an additional business education curriculum when they are at their peak of their learning inspirations.
The journey into business education while a medical student provides the test necessary for them to see and feel the need for that education. And it’s about the only time when they will ever have the motivation and courage to learn business and marketing principles in their medical careers.
Until the first medical school in our nation is willing to accept the challenge of offering a large segment of their medical school students the option of volunteering for and using part of their time to learn about business and marketing, what it does for their future, how to integrate it into their medical practice business after graduation, will begin the earthshaking tsunami of students into such programs in the future. Yes. Some, then a few, then a stampede.
The same surge of medical school applicants will shortly follow, with applications to the medical schools who are offering such programs. It will happen because the one singular impetus all medical students have is to not miss-out on knowledge offered to other medical students that they will not tolerate being left out of. I saw this happen in my medical school class.
However, the business education must be two levels above the level of an MBA education—fitted to private medical practice usability and easy implementation. That’s the key.
History has documented the fact that after physicians start private medical practice, rarely will a medical doctor attempt to obtain a business education while compromising their active
medical practice.
There is one other alternative to such a business and marketing education for both medical students and physicians in private medical practice that can be found in only one outside source published and available to medical students and physicians online.
That resource is the one I began making available to students or physicians who recognized what a business education can do for their lives, families, and their medical careers in 2013. My business and marketing teaching website contains well over 150 of my articles about how to learn, use, and apply all the principles of successful businesses and all the most effective, income producing marketing strategies required.
These articles detail the elements of each individual topic and how any physician can implement any of these issues into their own medical practice—all without spending $40,000 on an MBA, taking courses, or reading a hundred business and marketing books that often are misleading or not appropriate for physicians to learn. Amazon contains over 250,000 of such books listed. Which ones do you choose to get the most reliable information and help from?
#1--Go to—www.marketingamedicalpractice.com—this website was constructed by me for teaching you physicians the important business elements for your success. It, as of today, Jan. 2022, is being updated and expanded and will be online by May 2022.
#2—My book that I published in 2014 has now been revised and expanded and re-published, Edition 2, July 2021. This book covers in detail the information written above and is all the data on the actual cause and cure for the “problem” that is causing the destruction of healthcare and private
medical practices.
The cause is—Physicians are never taught how to earn money, manage a business efficiently and profitably, nor how to use business and marketing tools that are readily available for producing maximum income.
The cure is—With the tools of a business and marketing education any physician can earn any amount of income they desire, whenever then want, and for whatever reason they choose. The consequences of the lack of such education is destroying private medical practices and the medical careers of private medical doctors daily.
Details and consequences to all physicians who lack the necessary business education to ever reach their ultimate potential as a physician.
One can be tempted to call this discussion a benefit to those medical doctor Neanderthals who are clinging to their guns, never-opened Bibles, and misled medical education tradition, while disregarding the truth they have been cleverly directed away from.
It is amazing how many regular physicians lose total control of their own careers, prefer not to know how to make far more money that they had intended back then, and decide that it’s OK to live at the edge of middle-class poverty for themselves and their families.
It’s exactly what I did to myself and my family that I continue to regret. And it’s exactly why I’m trying to prevent as many physicians as I can from ending up like I did. It is something that no physician ever has to go through, because the cure is readily available today.
Medical schools say they are not responsible for any of this, even though they all refuse to provide or offer a business education for all medical students. The hypocrisy of medical schools must not continue to financially disable physicians, and they know it.
That’s fine if you think that the covert and intentional disregard for the well-being of every physician that graduates from medical school is financially ham-strung from the start and is acceptable. You are free to make those choices today, but when socialized medicine takes over you will also lose the rest of your choices permanently.
You certainly can live in medical professional poverty while knowing you aren’t making enough money to pay for better skills, more medical knowledge, and you must fight to stay above the poverty level. Associated with that is your knowledge that, never being able to reach your highest limits of your potential as a physician, you also must live with.
I believe that most of us believed in the beginning of medical school we had way too many high expectations for our careers, income production, and joyful thoughts about an upper-class lifestyle.
Such ideas and thoughts certainly did stimulate our desires to study hard and learn everything. Even those dreams and thoughts were possible if the world around us remained the same. It didn’t
We weren’t told anything about how to be successful in medical practice the easy way. It was just expected that we would automatically know what to do—one big lie. Somehow the medical schools believe that we also know how to set up a medical business and manage a profitable medical practice—automatically.
The rude awakening comes later when we become aware of what we had missed. We discover that we could live on lower income, that we might not have enough income to pay for our children’s college fees, that we probably can’t fund a retirement plan, or don’t deserve to live a lifestyle that we deserved. Does it make you angry just thinking about that?
How you select success by making the right choices?
1. If money is the ultimate career goal for physicians, then your interests, talents, and skills must be sufficient to meet the requirements of the high paying medical specialties in the beginning. That requires knowing which specialties match your target. Usually, those are surgical specialties. If your skills and medical interests are elsewhere, do you take a shot at surgery anyway?
I have been in the operating room many times with surgeons who were not talented in surgery but are able to compensate for their mediocre surgical results. Patients never know a physician’s skill levels until they do surgery on them. Even then, how can a patient ever know if the doctor was a poor or great surgeon?
Best advice is to acknowledge what your interests, skills, and talents are first. Did you know that before you started medical school? Most don’t. Once you rotate through all the specialty services it allows you to have a pretty good idea where your interests are. You have a chance to watch and even try the procedures while in each specialty.
2. If becoming a great physician is your medical career goal, you still need to know what your interests, talents, and skills are. The second step in the process is to consider whether you are primarily fascinated by the diagnosing of medical problems—medical specialties, or are you attracted more to the curing of medical problems—surgical specialties.
3. If you are in medical school because of family pressure or life situations where it becomes necessary to change your occupation or are disabled in some fashion, then becoming a physician presents many more barriers than usual for medical students as well as physicians. More compromises will be required where desires may conflict with your skills.
Were these tantalizing glimpses nudging you back then in the halls of medical education? Did anyone in that educational environment stop to explain to you about these success steps in your decision-making process that might have made a difference in your medical career path?
As painful as it may have been to leap into an area of medical practice that you were pushed to choose, financial-wise, career planning wise, knowing that you had to trust your personal intuition at the time for making those decisions, are you today thinking your present life in medical practice is as fulfilling and enjoyable as you expected?
Would you like to go back and change some of those decisions? Did you miss some aspect of your medical education that would have made a big difference in your present stage of your life and medical career? As inappropriate or even impossible that it may seem today to tighten up your suspenders and fill in those gaps that have stalemated you career, it is available to you today. No one else has told you that, have they?
This is what “Medical Professional Poverty” is all about.
I would suggest to you that out there in our nation today are thousands of medical doctors out of over a million practicing that are all feeling the sting of dropping income face to face. And unfortunately, most of them are wondering not only how that could be happening to them, but also worrying about how to get their income increasing again.
There is a single cause for those concerns, and it all started with your medical school education that continues to be traditionally compromised and seriously ignored by the medical school scholars. There are a few medical schools that are slowly attempting to ease this scholastic deficit. The problem is that it will take them years to recognize what I have been talking about since 2010.
I’m far from being a genius or even a physician with any citations within the halls of medical education. But I did have an overwhelming passion for discovering why I lost my own private medical practice for financial reasons in the late 1980s.
After retiring from medical practice, from the hospital job I was forced to take for financial survival, while trying and failing in retirement to create a money-making business to enable my wife and I to become independent of Social Security checks, I became aware of why I had lost my medical practice in the first place. There were no thundering earthquakes or lightning bolts to
announce the discovery.
But I must tell you that not only did I abruptly become cognizant of what I had been missing in my education (business education), but also traced it back to my medical school’s disgraceful denial and refusal to provide a business education for all medical students.
What blew my mind was to discover that the same thing was true of every medical school in our nation, thus extending to every physician who graduated from any medical school.
That knowledge has pushed me beyond the limits of my passion to somehow ignite a firestorm that will resolve the issue by revealing to the public why quality of healthcare and the disintegration of private medical practice is happening—and can be completely reversed. I compare this agenda to that of Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis in the early 1800s.
Once I discovered that I lacked a business education, I searched online for a way to get that education. We were living on S.S. checks so there was nothing left to pay for a high-grade business education. I stumbled onto a business and marketing group, the Glazer-Kennedy Inner Circle group where the cost of joining was low, and the monthly education was an affordable monthly payment.
That event led to my obtaining a business and marketing education far above the college quality business education and at a remarkably lower cost. They were teaching entrepreneurship before colleges and universities picked up on that.
Dan Kennedy is a high school graduate who became a world-renowned expert in business and marketing that top companies pay over $10,000 per hour for consultations. He continues to teach today. I have been mentored by him for about 15 years. He is called a “millionaire maker.”
With that knowledge, I have devoted my life to my mission to make every medical school in our nation responsible for providing a formal business and marketing education, to start ASAP.
Comment:
As you know, there are many outside political, educational, legal, and economic forces in play that disrupt the infrastructure and functions of healthcare and of the medical profession, to its very foundation. John Kotter, at Harvard, is researching with his members how big changes can be made in big organizations, but it seems that even he is not interested in the major faults in
medical education. How do I know that. I sent him an email asking him to investigate this issue and never got a reply.
It is quite possible that my ideas and thoughts will never in my lifetime reach the headlines or never result in the updating of medical education with business education included. What tears at my heart and soul is that my attempts to make a difference for the benefit of all physicians, old and new, will remain totally ignored, as it has been for a century.
My efforts include making a difference for all medical patients in this country who depend on our physicians for care and expect them to always be on the cutting edge of their profession at all times, which can only be accomplished if they are provided a business education.
Up to 2022, all my 100 business and marketing education articles for physicians have been online, for free to use and learn about business and marketing. The website is being updated, 50+ new articles added, and expanded. It is expected to be online by May 2022.
My book that I published in 2014 on this topic, no one has purchased or read, which is a message to me about why the newer version needed updated and re-published July 2021.
Today, our nation and the world are in chaos. Our nation under Biden is falling and failing in every dimension. Some call it the “Last Days,” referring to Biblical writings. It seems God is also trying again to bring this world back to a peaceful place--by his own means.
The bottom line for survival financially in private medical practice is a business education for all medical students in the future. The use of the knowledge and tools contained from a business and marketing knowledge is the only means for any physician to reach their full potential in the practice of medicine and is the foundation that prevents professional poverty. All of those tools provide the strategies to use to reach your maximum income potential, which in turn enables a physician to become the best he can be in his profession. The requirements are...
