Medicine is a complex system, which can consume you faster than you know. It doesn't matter on which side the consumer or provider it swallows you, if you're lucky you save yourself before it's too late. It's a system with no regard for the individual, despite many articles, academic aristocrats saying otherwise. The patient is the goal. But it also the means, the sacrifice, the currency, the collateral... I am lucky, I saw through the veil, through the hidden handshakes. And for the sake of my health, my family and my future clients, I made a choice to follow my own path. That is my philosophy: adapt, improve, create. But let's dissect some of the reasons that ultimately contributed to my choice to leave a secure job in a public hospital. Unsatisfied personnel In the last few months, I rarely had the privilege to talk to someone, who was satisfied with the job or was happy to have a job in the hospital. The paycheck was low. Patients and relatives were frustrated and angry on a daily basis. Every week the workflow was dialed to the max. The nerves were tense like string on a guitar, but the melody was not pleasant. But the leadership was blind to the fact that this was the new „normal“. They were also pressed to fulfill the year's quota and to juggle with the personnel that they have. Which lead to... Many nurses and support personnel quitting their job Those who had enough found a job either in a less burdened environment or in a completely different field. Those who could not leave their job, because of their financial situation took more sick days than usual, which left more work hours to the others. Entering a vicious cycle, which will continue to the collapse of the system. A system of quotas and numbers In our country it was determined by the only state insurance company, how many doctors visit and how many procedures can be done within a year. So the hospital stopped some procedures or ambulatory visits at the end of the year, because if they did more than they were allowed to do, the surplus of procedures would not get paid by the state insurance. This resulted in more relaxed work space at the end of the year in some areas, but ultimately it all came back, right after new years eve.

After 18 years as an Engineer, close to 2 years a Health and Wellness personal coach/Trainer, and now aspiring to touch others online. I knew that I needed to learn skills and grow as a coach to enter the online world. But after the very little exposure to Dan's ideas, I have learned in the introductory courses and modules, I understood there is a better way; a more fulfilling way of becoming a person of impact online. Without compromising on my values and aspirations. In honesty, I was expecting that I needed to become an awesome Marketer; when in truth, I need to become a BETTER coach (as Dan puts it, the 10.0 version of myself). Because, as an In Person coach; I can only impact 1 person at a time with a max of X people per day. So in a way, I thought to myself... I have to transcend beyond the limitations I have; and the frase of "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once", or rather the concept of Divine Omnipresence hit me like a train. Instead of becoming a marketing tech wiz, I have to find a way to RE-CREATE: EVERYTHING I know and use to get my clients results in a way it can be EVERYWHERE that my perfect online customer currently IS or will be ALL AT ONCE so they can access it, go through it and put it into action at the right time. 🤯😵‍💫🤔 So I got to Transcend...for them... or rather in service of them. AND stay sane and happy with myself and my family.

I had so much success with booking calls, I have not had time to work on the next few steps. I was feeling bad about plateauing at Level 3, then I realized Dan Harrison is only level 7. What I caught: Leveling up can happen inside and outside the skool. Initial calls finish up next week, then I'll be back to take the next steps and, hopefully, level up again here.

Surgery can be a mixed experience, for those on the table the only outcome beneficial is to be better than before. The same should be for the surgeon. In this current time we severely overestimate surgery benefits. But what else should a surgeon do? Yes, if you do not operate you can hardly call yourself a surgeon, but by being open minded, people can dramatically improve their health status without unnecessary surgery. As someone who has seen the inside of the operating room I can tell many stories, but let’s tell this one through the 3 phases in a surgeon's life. First phase: how to operate. When you start you want to scrub in every time you can. A 6-hour Whipple surgery? Sure. A 5-hour laparoscopic prostatectomy? I’m in. A 4-hour revision surgery in femoral fracture nou-union? Yes, please. Even the small procedures are interesting: nail removal, wound suturing, skin tag removal. You want to do, assist, see as many as possible, because one time you will be the one to do these grandiose procedures, being in the spotlight, carrying the weight of responsibility for the patient's outcome. Many struggle even in this phase. Why? They are not as dexterous, they are lazy, they are not interested. Then why choose surgery? There are many reasons why someone lands in this field either by parental pressure, or they have a plan just to survive residency and then do their own thing. On the other hand many attendings simply don’t care, they just want a pair of hands to assist and someone to fill in the paperwork, so they don’t have to deal with administration. Second phase: when to operate If you stay in the first phase, then your superiors make the decision for you. The others enjoy this phase, finally they have some confidence in their ability to persuade the patients into surgery. They can rationalize why surgery will have a better outcome than any other treatment or it can act as a supplementary treatment. They spend long hours in the operating room, they enjoy doing surgery, sometimes at the expense of all other aspects of their life: health, family, relationships, financial decisions. They create their own echo chamber, when they connect with similar minded surgeons. Implementing new techniques, doing research, finding mentees, it all very existing. Until the complications pile up. That’s mostly the first warning call, if you ignore your crumbling relationships, your constant debt payments, alienated kids… Don’t get me wrong surgery carries risks, even if you are the best surgeon in the world, you can not avoid this. It is always how you deal with them. You can ignore them, saying your workflow is perfect, you can refer them to other surgeons, they will eventually hate you or you change something. Which is a trait not many surgeons have. They like their workflow, because it took years, long nights and little free-time to materialize the current situation. Being in the spotlight, doing surgery they want, not many can get to such a stage. And something should change. While a transient surge of complications can be resolved, the next wave can be more detrimental. You either start to see your downfall or you ascend to the next phase.
