Austin Spine Health

Just the other day, a patient was going on about her doctor who she was no longer with because they went “concierge”.

She couldn’t understand how a doctor could do that when they had taken the Hippocratic Oath to take care of her.

My response to her with a firm but sympathetic tone was this....

👉🏻It is BECAUSE of the oath we take that we sometimes have to make difficult decisions about how and where we practice.

👉🏻It is BECAUSE the “care” in healthcare has become a second thought in a system that doesn’t always support the doctor in practicing their craft.

👉🏻 It is BECAUSE we care that we want to provide quality medicine that centers around the patient, giving us time to listen and to connect.

👉🏻 It is BECAUSE we love what we do that burning out is no longer an option.

To all my colleagues, near and far, old and new, hospital based and private practice, concierge or insurance based....keep on rocking that oath.👊🏻

💕💕Happy Doctor’s Day!!!💕💕

💙ANNIVERSARY POST 💙

Austin Spine Health turns 3!!!

What I hoped would be a growth year for the practice was shattered by the pandemic.

But...I’ve grown so much in this past year.

👉🏻 I became a certified health coach.

👉🏻I learned how to navigate telemedicine.

👉🏻 I was able to define my vision and the direction of my practice.

Lastly, I have made so many connections here on Instagram and on Facebook. We’ve carried each other through one of the most challenging times in healthcare and in small business. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I don’t know where this fourth year will take me. But the adversity I have faced has certainly made me stronger.

What has this past year taught you?
