Beyond the Stethoscope
A Doctor’s Guide to Financial Freedom
You were trained to save lives. Nobody trained you to build a practice that can stand without you.
Beyond the Stethoscope: A Doctor’s Guide to Financial Freedom is Dr Bakahika’s honest story of leaving work abroad, coming home, and opening Ebenezer in 2015 in a single room, partitioned to work as a whole clinic. It is also the field manual he wishes he had been given at graduation: how to read your numbers, lead a team, and build a practice that can stand without you.
Inside: the journey from Ibanda to Iraq, Juba and Newcastle and back; how to read your numbers and run a weekly money meeting; and ten timeless principles for doctors and other professionals who want work that funds a life rather than consumes it.
Coming soon in Kindle and paperback on Amazon.
