Getting sued doesn't mean you're a bad doctor. It's also not a matter of guilt or lack of it. A medical malpractice suit is a civil case where the plaintiff and their attorney is trying to convince the jury or your malpractice company that there was enough evidence to claim that the physician's actions or lack of it could have somehow led to the negative outcomes the patient is claiming.  I love t...

This was the second involved meeting with my branding expert. We discovered that I'm not coming across as the caring, compassionate person my patients are looking for and we discussed a few ways to achieve this new persona online.  We talked about positioning myself in light of the current competition and how to come across as someone who can have a sustainable brand while having the meaningful co...

I spend $3,000 to hire a marketing and branding expert. Over the next few weeks we will have multiple meetings which I will post here in the form of a podcast. What is incredibly important for me is that we agree on the deliverable terms ahead of time because I need to know what she's going to give me at the end of our contract so that I am happy and she is happy.   ------ Dr. Mo Linkedin Digital...

  it's time for me to bring on a marketing and branding expert who can help me define the exact customer experience that I should have and where I should position my brand in order to meet the right kind of audience. I finally decided to hire this person after spending $3,000 and I'll go over how I made this decision and why I think it is important. A virtual medical practice is different in many...

I am in the stage in my business where I need to grow my customer base, so I basically need more patience. But I have to also consider whether I have a good enough workflow right now to justify paying $3,000 to a branding or marketing strategy expert to help me grow my business. Here is the way I think about it.   https://www.youtube.com/@rabeeahasan ------ Dr. Mo Linkedin Digital Nomad Physicians...

 I decided to record this podcast episode in reference to the Medscape article I linked to below. I don't like it too much but it's a good place to start. If I were to choose my ideal state to practice medicine in and which states I would want to hold a medical license in, then this is the process that I would follow.   Medscape article: https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2024-best-worst-practice-...

My specialty friend who earns quite close to $1M a year just told me that he's sick and tired of the US and that it's going down the tubes. He wants to leave for another country and he asked me my thoughts.      ------ Digital Nomad Physicians site: https://digitalnomadphysician.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohammad-ashori-md/ Digital Nomad Virtual Practice: https://digitalnomadhealt...

GLP1s aren't bad and they aren't good. They are a tool and it's unlikely that all of their positive claims will play out and that all its criticisms will turn out to be true. The less emotional we can be about a chemical compound the better we can use it in healthcare for the benefit of our patients.      ------ Digital Nomad Physicians site: https://digitalnomadphysician.com/ Linkedin: https://ww...

Western medicine is a huge field and there are lots of niches within. Trying to connect with everyone, especially online, is a losing proposition. But if you feel alone it's worthwhile to consider where you can find others who might have the same ideologies as you.      ------ Digital Nomad Physicians site: https://digitalnomadphysician.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohammad-ashori-md...

Though I haven't been sued yet, it's been a topic of interest. Here is my perspective on it and what I've learned about it so far.   ------ Dr. Mo Linkedin Digital Nomad Physicians Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Physician Career Coaching: Consulting

It's not hard to deliver good care to a patient but the odds are stacked against us with multitasking and a busy medical practice. Here are a few ways that you can shine in front of your patients and a few things not to do.    ------ Dr. Mo Linkedin Digital Nomad Physicians Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Physician Career Coaching: Consulting

In the health insurance model, the health insurance company sends you the patient, but in private practice you have to go out and find your own patients. Your ideal patients often have certain habits in common and that's where your source of the funnel is.    ------ Dr. Mo Linkedin Digital Nomad Physicians Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Physician Career Coaching: Consulting

Standing out is a good thing in medicine - usually. When you are doing a great job as a doctor, your peers and patients will give you subtle and not-so-subtle feedback which is worth paying attention to. And if you are doing a superb job as a doctor in a particular healthcare system but that system can't accommodate your ongoing improvement, it might be time to leave. 

The healthcare economy has been on an upswing for a long, long time. A lot of profits have been made more than ever before and one thing we know is that when the few are profiting and the poor are screaming foul, something is gonna give. Whether it's new legislature or a bursting bubble or a new system replacing the old one or full economic collapse, there is something coming down that many might...

There is no magic to being a CEO and though it may not be something that's on your radar, your skills are well suited for that role.

I'm sensitive to decision fatigue. Having to choose our next destination is hard enough, much less, having to choose the flight, exact location in the city, transportation, accommodation, and what to take with us.  Being human I can complain about nearly anything. But having spent nearly 6 months now in Long Beach, it feels as though I'm uprooting myself.  ------ Dr. Mo Linkedin Digital Nomad Phys...

There is a time in our lives when working full-time is justified and even welcome. I suspect that for most it'll be the first decade of their career and for a few the last decade, too.  But, right now, working full-time comes at a cost that I'm not sure I'm willing to pay in my mid-40s. ------ Dr. Mo Linkedin Digital Nomad Physicians Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Heart Health Coaching: Cardia...

For the next 5 days, I'm doing the primary care thing, working in a private practice seeing insured patients. It's been great so far, not hard. But it is quite different from the urgent care stuff I do. I could do it indefinitely, but there is no way I could do it full-time like this.  ------ Dr. Mo Linkedin Digital Nomad Physicians Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Heart Health Coaching: Cardiac...

The state medical board will care a lot about what kind of sex you engage in and with whom. Not right off the bat, but if a pissed off lover reports you, especially if you're a man, especially if you're black or middle eastern, be ready for an inquision. This is a rough podcast episode to listen to but no need to sugarcoat things.      ------ Digital Nomad Physicians site: https://digitalnomadphys...

Should healthcare be a meritocracy? Perhaps. But it's first a business and trying to make it be anything other than a business may lead to frustration.  However, as a physician if the goal is to enjoy what you do and offer value to patients, there are lots of microclimates you can practice in.    ------ Digital Nomad Physicians site: https://digitalnomadphysician.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedi...

Sometimes it's much easier being an employee, such an independent contractor than owning and running your own medical practice.
