The fatal flaw is that patients visit a clinic to see a specific doctor. People don’t go to McDonalds demanding burgers made by Ray Kroc. That’s the difference. That’s why the entire book is not applicable in real life. Just good on paper.

Terrible book.
Reads like the author is just cashing in on the success of his original book. This book offers no insight and the authors complete lack of research and understanding of the nature of medicine comes thru. You just cannot see a patient just for his/her flu symptoms and ignore any other complaints for the sake of have a standardised time for a flu consult. Nature of medicine is during a consult things unravel what the patient booked THEMSELVES in for. He clearly has no idea. For a procedure, yes, a lot easier to stardardise time, outcome etc. It's simply the same as an estimate how long it takes to paint a room. The author rambles on about change, fear of it etc etc as though Drs are weded to current practices because they're fearful or haven't been trained in business. Complete rubbish. This book is trash. Seriously disappointed.

Mostly platitudes I’m afraid

I like the E-myth revisited. This book read like a first draft to me. It has high level concepts which are useful, but never really created a picture of what change would look like in a practice. The organization lacked flow, it seemed to keep circling back to the same points. If you own a practice (I do BTW) I think there are more useful books to choose from.

Good practical advice on running a system based small business. I suspect it will help me to become the wealthiest man alive.

there are no other books here and I don’t wanna read the alchemist again just yet so this is what I got! I did try to be open in the beginning and there were some nuggets of wisdom that I’ve heard plenty of times before in varying iterations. but something about comparing a medical practice to McDonald’s and Walt Disney doesn’t seem quite right … also this man is not a doctor so idk why he wrote this it feels very gimmicky this e-myth series has like so many books luckily i have one other so shall see if it just regurgitates the same shit over and over. but even in this book alone it was very repetitive omg it really did feel like he was trying to hit that 100 page count saying the same thing in slightly different ways. surprised to see a fellow Nigerian’s testimony at the end so that was like cool … I guess the book seemed to help him so happy for him! idk would likely hit better if I was a physician but also feel like my points still stand!

Quick and easy read. Really good for big concepts but wish there were more specifics.

Very well written. Removes the owner from the situation (business) and you can see it as a framework that helps you to thrive
