This 40 min conversation is full of pearls for trainees and attendings early in their career. From Dr Ahmed: Appearance "You have one chance to make a first impression. It carries a lot of weight... patients will decide quickly whether you're someone they'll listen to or not." Customer Service "Every business is about providing customer service. If you provide the right type of customer service; you'll get the right referrals."

Hard Work "My goal was to become so valuable that there was no chance you would want to lose me... so I worked harder than my colleagues" Reputation "No matter which way you go - your reputation carries you so much more than you think."
