Management of office practice--a philosophy

The Young pediatrician starting in practice has a dream of an office steadily full of happy satisfied mothers and their children, whom he guides from birth to maturity and whose illnesses he treats. He also has, or dreams of, a wife with whom he spends his leisure hours and children of his own, whom he guides, teaches and enjoys. In addition, he dreams of a personal life of reading, study, research, church activities, civic clubs and duties, golf, fishing and so on. Whether he has the time and money for these three facets of his life depends basically on how he manages his office, for it is here that the pediatrician spends most of his working hours and earns most of his income.
