Difficult partners and colleagues. Dealing with complications. Negotiating with administration. Running a successful

We can argue if patient reviews are a good idea or bad, but it doesn't change the fact that they are here to stay for now. This episode will show you that bad patient reviews are not all bad. They may convey a message you want. They may alert you to a problem in your office that you should address. And there are ways you can improve your ratings. The most important goal is to challenge the idea that bad patient reviews mean something about us as surgeons. www.BOSSsurgery.com

I had a theory that a reason some of us were not satisfied with work was that our reason for becoming surgeons didn't apply to us anymore. Many of you responded, and there were themes for why we became surgeons. Although not all reasons apply anymore, there are some truly inspiring reasons, and I wanted to share them with you. It inspired me again to remember the time when I was making the decision. I hope you all are inspired, too, as you head back to our original "why."
