Quotes:
“A lot of doctors, because they still work in the hospital and the operating room, are kind of set on the fact that they’re a doctor—that that’s what they’re trained how to do and that’s what they have to do. So, the thought of moving out of that never even crosses their mind, or if does cross their mind, it’s like, ‘Well, that’s impossible. I’m a surgeon; that’s what I have to do.’ It’s like they’re seeing a very narrow view of what is possible to do as a doctor.” – Dr. Joel Pash
“I don’t think you need any degree to run a business. You don’t need a business degree to run a business. It’s a skill.” – Dr. Joel Pash
“As long as people understand what it is that they’re going to get, they’re almost 100% happy.” – Dr. Joel Pash
“Sometimes, the textbook is not exact, and everyone’s anatomy is a little different.” – Dr. Joel Pash
