She may have done that gratis. Placing people ( social workers do that).. BUT a quick exam and a pep talk and some nutritional guidance is good for business. 6 people free in a lifetime isnt any enormous loss in the overall picture of public relations. From what i can understand about her practice, this was more like medicine with life coaching.. kind of a day spa for the body and mind and spirit. i get all that..Insurance does not. Florida was once viewed by Ponce de Leon as where the fountain of youth was located. Lots of wealthy retirees move there .. They may also just be there 6 months a year. The demographics are perfect .. Her kind of practice might appeal to a wide slice of the population ( especially female) but is affordable by a select few.
She was a visionary. Most people want a doctor who cares. There is a difference.. REIKI, intuition, vegan cooking, therapeutic touch, vitamins, etc etc take discipline and multiple visits. It is a lifestyle change.. not a BP check, blood work and a trip to the drugstore for a prescription for Lipitor. Medicare reimbursement is awful even when the MD accepts it as full payment. More and more MDs in my area are choosing NOT TO ACCEPT IT. They are not "new age" practitioners.. they just do not want to be undervalued. JMO
I went to the fountain of youth in ST.Augustine and drank 5 cups of the water. They charge per cup but I paid it. I stared for 15 minutes at my face in the mirror and nothing happened. I should have sued them for false advertising.:laughing:
By the way great post wondering
