Both told me they couldn’t help me with my dream.
The reality is they were right. I can’t do what I do in 10 minute visits and see 30 patients per day. Much of what I do doesn't require surgeries or procedures.
My dream is spending time with people, getting to know them and helping them understand and achieve their quality of life goals. My dream is to teach other doctors and clinicians why sexual health is simply health and they too can incorporate it into their practices. I also have a dream to start drinking water regularly so I don’t get another kidney stone.
My dream does not fit well in the current health care system.
The idea of starting a business was daunting. Early in the pandemic I found a life-changing podcast and group of physician entrepreneurs who were trying to be different. I found a community that supports me and helps me learn how to start and run a successful business.
It’s not magic. It’s not impossible. It happens by just taking many small steps, asking questions, and being afraid but doing it anyway. I’ve read dozens of books, listened to podcasts, joined facebook groups and realized that I wasn’t alone.
Also I learned how to do surgery on genitals…how hard can it be to learn quickbooks!?
