Treated my receptionist as partner, not 'working for me'.
She scheduled my surgeries first every morning.
Respect compounds into results.
Other surgeons: "She's just a receptionist."
Their surgery slots: 2 PM, after everyone else.
My approach: Profit-sharing on new patients she brings.
Her response: Sends every quality lead my way.
That ward boy you ignore?
He tells patients which surgeon "really cares."
That nurse you disrespected?
She whispers to families during their anxiety.
