Skills for private medical practice in India

It look at long time to realize (it continues as a learning experience) that as a stand-alone medical practitioner, i need skills that are never taught in medical college -

1. Playing each ball on its merit and standing firm like a wall like Rahul Dravid - in a crowded OPD, Dravid like temperament helps you to give your best to first and fiftieth patient as well.

2. Running an excellent well oiled clinic like a McDonald outlet. complete with clear menu and charges, excellent customer service and efficient systems to avoid waste.

3. Managing predatory local government and its unofficial gundas- to be learnt from Construction Companies - no further comment needed

4. Managing a dragon called central government with powerful lobby like pharma companies

5. Managing shop frugally and avoiding extravagance from my friendly neighborhood grocery shop owner

6. And most important of all - managing oneself as a brand - who better than Baba Ramdevji for this lesson.

Private practice needs science that med school teaches you and a lot of art that these six gurus can teach. :)

Forgot to add most important point -
7. When you find a good partner to play with, keep it like Viru and Jay. Be ready to die for each other. No better way to have a happy life in risky stressful world of medical practice.
