Excerpt from Book on the Physician Himself and Things That Concern His Reputation and Success
If you do not you ought not to succeed in the profession, and no honest man can wish you success.
Whether, after graduation, you start to practice without any intermediate course, or wisely strive to further prepare yourself for your life's work, by a limited term of service in some hospital; or by taking a course in diagnosing, prescribing, and manipulations at some post-graduate school in one of our own great cities; or make a journey to the hospitals and clinics of London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, or Leipsig, is a matter of both money and time; but whenever and wherever you start your private practice, you should, above all else, strive to start right, and by the aid of energy, industry, and perseverance to enter promptly on the road to success; for unless you gain popular favor by a worthy display of ability, acquire some reputation, and build up a fair practice in your first six or eight years, the probabilities are that you never will.
Contract no entangling alliances. It is better not to enter into partnership with other physicians. Partners are usually not equally matched in industry, tact, and similar qualities, and are not equally liked by the public. Hence the union generally does not prove as beneficial or as satisfactory as expected, and, consequently, partnerships rarely continue long. Above all else. Never ally yourself with any other physician as assistant or junior partner, to do the drudgery; or on any other terms, except as an equal. The sooner you learn to depend wholly on yourself the better. Julius Caesar said, I had rather be the first man in a village than the second man in a great city.
