Embezzlement is real and it happens in health care practices. Let’s explore embezzlement and employee theft in practices. One of the few things we want to face in our business is that employees will steal from the practice. Why would someone do that when we are all there to provide a service to the community? Who would do that to us? As it turns out, this is no small problem.

Better health care for patients begins with humility – a term not often associated with medicine. I witnessed displays of humility firsthand eight years ago, the night my son was born, in the way the doctor and doula worked together to deliver our baby.
