How can you as a doctor know if deep inside you are really about "serving the community?"
Simple.
When you meet with a patient for the first time, honestly determine which type of internal questions surface in your mind-- key questions that will ultimately reveal motive and dictate your attitude, focus and protocol.
Are your thoughts--
TYPE A) "Does this patient have insurance? Can they afford my fees? What kind of car does he drive? Does he have a good paying job? "
or
TYPE B) "What does this patient want from me? What does this patient need from me? How can I best help this person be stronger, healthier... more joyful?"
