Combining Behavioral Endocrinology and Experimental Economics: Testosterone and Social Decision Making
Published on: March 2, 2011
Abstract:
Money is an exchange of value. Your patient receives the value of health, well being, an improved appearance, and keeping teeth for a lifetime of comfort and function. These are life-enhancing benefits. You are receiving money as the patient's part of the exchange. Money is a moveable entity that flows from one person to another or from one business to another. Both you and your patients benefit from an equitable exchange of value. That occurs when you feel good about the money you receive for services rendered and your patient feels good about the investment they have made in you and in your care. Didn't Dr. Pankey teach us that?
