The Honor Box and the Health Care Crisis
Tuesday, September 1, 2009 at 07:25PM A few days ago, I asked myself this question:
How in the world am I still in business?
Locally, we've seen Aloha Airlines say "aloha" forever. On the national scene, well-established financial institutions and automobile corporations received choke bailout money from the federal government just to survive-- General Motors still declared bankruptcy. Unemployment is up. Families are tightening their belts, spending less and less, and both big businesses and small businesses everywhere are closing their doors for good. Calling it quits...
But somehow, my practice survives. Somehow, the Honor Box allows me to keep my practice alive and provide for my family.
It doesn't make sense. Does it? Honor Box Chiropractic, a system that allows each and every patient the option to pay whatever it is they want, can't possibly work in today's economic climate. Right?
I could adjust 100 spines a day, but if the owners of these spines decided to toss in unfair, dishonest, payments into the box (which they very well could), I wouldn't last a month. I wouldn't last a week.
But day after day I open that box after my last adjustment and find enough.
What if all doctors and patients could trust each other the way I trust my patients and my patients trust me? What if the Honor Box became a standard in all health care practices?
Would we be in a heath care crisis then?
Honor Box Health Care? LOL! Crazy! Ridiculous! It would never work!
Except, it does.
Here in Kalihi, 1633 Kahai Street. Working, folks. The Honor Box stay working, folks.
I have a small favor to ask. Please share this blog post with the doctors you know.
Ask them what they think. Some may smirk. Some may dismiss. Some may make excuses.
But perhaps, some may consider.
