If you died today, your job would replace you tomorrow.

Your friends and family can’t (and wouldn’t want to) replace you.

Don’t make something else a #1 priority that treats you like an option.

Would you rather…

This is a GREAT quote I’d never seen before.

And so true in my experience.

“Hey Jimmy, what block are we doing?”

What do you want to do?

“A supraclavicular block”

What about their O2 sat of 90?

“We should avoid the phrenic, what about an axillary block?”

Great idea!

[Teach trainees to think. Don’t just tell them what to do]

Want to know every anesthesiologists and CRNAs first name?

“Hey Jimmy. An insurance agent told me I need a new disability policy”

What do ya have?

“An own occupation policy from [good company]”

Ya know they make commission from selling new policies?

“Oh, how do I if I should trust them then?”

There in lies the problem

Hi, I’m Dr Turner. I am your anesthesia doc today

Elderly patient, “Oh, you only put me to sleep, right? That’s not a big deal”

Right, I put you to sleep… but I’m also the one who makes sure you wake up

“How old are you? Does your mother know you are here?” 🤣

There are 3 things physicians in training must have in place financially:

1) A student loan plan
2) Own Occ Disability Insurance
3) Financial Literacy foundation

That’s why those are the only 3 things we help docs with at Money Meets Medicine
