RHM Rolls Out COVID-19 Antibody Test
RHM is now offering COVID-19 (SARS-CoV2) antibody testing. This is a fully-automated process, which benefits both patients, healthcare professionals and organizations.
Confession: I spend quite a bit of time on Twitter. I use the platform as a tool for research. I believe that Twitter is the closest thing that we have as a society to show us what people really think and believe, unfiltered.
A while back, I got into a bit of “rap battle” on Twitter with a few doctors. It didn’t start out that way. I was actually being supportive of a doctor’s position and the doctor took it way wrong. And then the other doctors piled on. (It’s ok, I won in the end.) That “rap battle” is what has led to this blog post.
Throughout the last 20 years or so, I have gained a lot of information and insight into how doctors really think about, and understand, various topics and subjects. Yes, Twitter is a great tool for this. But the greatest amount of information and understanding has come through personal relationships with doctors as a business partner, advisor, consultant, coach, or friend.
This post is about helping medical doctors see what their true value is in the marketplace. And, it has very little to do with their 20,000 hours of training.
Because those 20,000 hours include 0 hours of basic economics, we must start with a basic lesson.
The economic theory of value attempts to explain the exchange value of goods and services.
Without going into great detail, there are essentially 2 main, and opposing, theories of economic value:
Most doctors tend to believe, without thinking about it, that their value to society is intrinsic. I know this because the doctor’s default argument is always to point to the “20,000 hours” of work they did before becoming a “Doctor.”
This belief is similar to a subset of Intrinsic Theory of Value known as the Labor Theory of Value. This theory asserts that the value of a product is determined by the amount of labor required to produce it.
However, this is not how the marketplace actually works. Your value to others – whether as a person, business, or product – is not based on what you believe it to be, but as to what others perceive your value to be. How important are you to them?
Value is neither determined by any inherent property of the service you provide nor by the amount of labor to produce your service.
Now don’t get me wrong…I am NOT saying that the study, training, and 20,000 hours of supervised care doesn’t matter. It really does. This is where expertise begins. (True expertise combines training and experience.)
But if you truly believe – even after reading this blog and studying some basic economics on your own – that TRAINING is what gives you value in the marketplace, then you will never understand why your vocation continues to lose validity. (Why are you working more hours and have more responsibilities than you used to while your pay – real income – continues to decline?)
