#8.Do not be rude to your subordinates

Any bad behavior never goes unnoticed by patients.

If my technician or assistant is at fault, I should talk to him/her in private.

If I get publicly aggressive and make him/her feel useless while doing so, I am losing respect.

#9. Never default on your payments

In running a dental practice, there are many costs.

All laboratory/supply bills must be paid at regular intervals to keep the credit line intact.

I must understand that the laboratories and suppliers are running businesses, and we are their clients.

#10. Never leave your clinic/job/practice unattended

I got the job in the first place because my Boss had to travel a lot to symposiums and conferences in addition to teaching in a dental college.

He had the good sense to appoint me to work in his absence so that the patient did not turn away for such a mundane reason as “Doctor is not there”.

Before winding up the article lets recap all the points that we discussed in this article. Be careful of these points and excel in your career as a doctor.

1. Never be late for your work, especially if you are expecting patients.
2. Never turn up shabbily to your workplace.
3. Do not get into the habit of interrupting your senior/boss.
4. Never give into bargaining the price of treatments.
5. Never push any product seriously. You don’t owe any company anything.
6. Be friendly with patients in a professional way. Never get personally very close to all your patients.
7. Also, avoid adding them and their friends on to your social profiles. Be very picky about the patients who you add to your social profiles.
8. Do not be rude to the subordinates working in the clinic.
9. Clear all your dues to lab people and supply depots.
10. Never leave your professional clinic unattended for a long time.
