Is your glass half full or half empty? Your decision may impact your practice.
The attitude of the doctor and the medical staff can have a profound impact on the success of a practice. You can be sure that if everyone has a positive attitude toward patients, your patients will have a positive experience and will tell others about that positive experience. On the other hand, if a doctor is sullen, unhappy, and uninterested in his or her work, you can be sure that this negativity will be transferred to the staff and subsequently to the patients. As a result, there will be unhappy patients, unhappy staff, increased staff turnover, and a doctor who continues to be unhappy and dissatisfied with the practice of medicine. This article will describe both types of attitudes, and what can be done to improve the attitude of the practice and have a glass that is half full and not half empty.
