Sounds like two different worlds, but “business” and “medicine” in reality, co-exist in a very subtle way. While economics have so much impact on the healthcare industry, not a subject is included in med school to prepare us for such very complex issues. Even simple “practice economics” and the art of “earning a living” as a physician, is shunned if not generally considered a taboo in our Filipino culture.
Which makes me feel kind of lost, as I begin my journey towards establishing a career as a physician. Well, broke as I am right now, I also couldn’t afford a financial planner or adviser. So I will take financial matters into my own hand (temporarily), read about it, learn by doing, ask authorities on such issues and then blog about it.
Yes, I’m blogging about it, in my new blog”to cut for living“. Maybe you and me will have a enlightening time discovering our road to financial freedom!

correct ka sir, up to now ma-uwaw pako mag-singil ug PF sa ako pxs. there was one time that an inpx asked me why my PF is so gamay compared to other consultants who saw her. kuratan sad ko kadyot! i do have to cut for my living.

financial freedom can be achieved in two ways… *to be born filthy rich or *to stop caring about it…unfortunately – both can be achieved through luck (e.g. ur born as a marcos, a lopez, a bush, etc.) or through any mental defeciency (nabuang ka, ulyanin na ka, ug uban pa)…tagem…mahadlok na nuon ko madato oi haha!

I am a physician and MBA. Before you see your first patient you must begin your new life with Strategic Planning. The business that begins without thoughtful consideration of a mission and vision based on well considered values is doomed. Think about who you are, what makes you happy, and how you see yourself in 5, 10 and 20 years from now. It is not just important to see patients and cure them, you need to strive toward a personal happiness for it all to be sustainable.
