By Editor, Concierge Medicine Today   It has been a minute since my wife and I watched Mad Men.   I still remember a few quotes, though. I recall Roger Sterling's sage marketing and business advice (above) with ease.   Unrelated, my wife and our close family friends recalled just last week how we found Betty, a fun character with a few quirky phrases of her own pretty memorable as well.   Remember when her son Bobby said, "I'm bored."   She replied, "Go bang your head against a wall...Only boring people are bored."   It was not great motherly advice, but her ..read more

Patients are often treated as inconvenient obstacles. That's not okay with me.   Patient burnout in today's healthcare culture is like cancer.
