I've met a couple of people there. I also made sure that I was at the medical staff meeting where the newly credentialed physicians were introduced. Funny, out of the 30 or so new docs, only about 5 of us were there.Melissahttp://www.midatlendo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088775658944647818.post-79063315909549666812009-11-11T16:20:04.732-05:002009-11-11T16:20:04.732-05:00On the subject, just being available and responsiv...On the subject, just being available and responsive to calls helps. Does anyone hang out in Doctor's lounges anymore? They are always empty @ my local hospitals. What about trying to meet with some IM groups & shake hands -especially the newer members who probably just ask their colleagues, which Endo do you/we use? Off the topic & not a criticism but I attended a lecture last night Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088775658944647818.post-40628149277181126102009-11-10T22:42:39.295-05:002009-11-10T22:42:39.295-05:00Thanks.

But they know who they know and are confortable with that. I'm sure I will gradually make headway. I just foolishly thought it would happen sooner.Melissa Younghttp://www.midatlendo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088775658944647818.post-22719420619050919932009-11-09T13:01:56.298-05:002009-11-09T13:01:56.298-05:00I am going to disagree.

You won't get many referrals because the docs are afraid they will be the next to be "driven" out of business by "invading forces." <br />Don't forget to treat the nurses well- they are the unheralded source of many referrals.Signaturedocnoreply@blogger.com
