Economic lessons for doctors?
Economic lessons for doctors?
Over the last six years I got involved in a business I thought was all about the medical world but it wasn’t! Isn’t it strange that the shift from treatment to prevention, from medication to nutritional supplementation goes mainly outside the doctor’s office? Now I know. Most doctors’ are not in the healthcare but in sickness treatment. They don’t have an education in nutrition and many simply don’t believe in the natural power. They still don’t receive any education about it, certainly not by the pharmaceutical companies, and also not by strict publicity rules, which won’t permit medical claims for nutrition.
Why?
Pharmaceutical companies who train these doctors can’t earn big money on nutrition. They can’t patent natural products it’s as simple as that. Instead they ‘try’ to copy nature by developing medication that the doctor can sample and they earn the big money.
Aging.
With the baby boom generation aging, sickness care will be unaffordable for more and more people. Meaning, less opportunities for doctors to earn money. Insurance companies in the E.U. seen what HMO has done in the U.S. and they start going in that direction, again the doctors paycheck will be less.
Nutrition
The big boom in healthcare is nutrition and it’s already showing it’s results against all odds. Powerful sources are doing everything in their power to give nutrition a bad reputation. But don’t underestimate the power of word to mount advertisement. ‘Looking good’ in the eyes of your colleague isn’t going to pay the bills in the future.
It’s getting better,
… for those who dare to step out of the box. With nutritional test available YOU can be in the picture with anti aging treatments. What did / do I hear from many doctors? Nutritional supplements, well I’m not really interested, but this test eh, … what’s in it for me?
What do you want, earn a small fee once a year and exchange time for money? Or do you like to earn money - every single day -because you showed the results of taking more nutritional supplements. About those doctors who told me; “My patients can’t afford this test”. The answer: “How do you know, did you ask them? And if they really can’t, what’s wrong finding people who are happy to pay you money if you can offer a real solution to their problems. Are you happy to send these patients to those anti aging clinics?
Some doctors,
… will never change their believes. Why? Fear of change, what would my colleagues think or say if I …? Will I loose referrals? Will it be: if you don’t change, the system, and the well informed costumers, will change it for you?
