Doctor's Secret: Prep for HUGE Patient Consultations!
In this brief instructional video, Dr. Vince Leone emphasizes the critical importance of proper preparation before conducting a Review of Findings (ROF) or patient consultation. He argues that rushing from administrative tasks straight into an ROF is detrimental. Instead, clinicians should set aside 2–3 minutes in a quiet space to (1) review the patient’s file and confirm key details, (2) perform box‑breathing (4‑second inhale, hold, exhale, hold) to lower internal stress and achieve a confident mental state, and (3) enter the consultation fully prepared. Dr. Leone underscores the financial stakes, noting each patient can represent $4,000–$6,000 in revenue, making the brief preparation time a worthwhile investment. He concludes that there is a right and wrong way to approach ROFs, and the right way includes deliberate mental and logistical preparation.
