I remember sitting across from a specialist a few years ago, let’s call him Dr. Miller. He was brilliant at what he did, but he was stressed. He had just moved into a beautiful new facility and filled it with the latest diagnostic tech. On paper, his practice was...

I used to think that as long as the bank account was in the black at the end of the month, a medical practice was "healthy." I assumed that if the waiting room was full and the doctors were busy, the business side of things would just... take care of itself....
