Large Fees and How to Get Them: A book for the private use of physicians

This guide tackles the practical side of running a medical practice, focusing on how physicians can turn their expertise into a sustainable business. It opens by critiquing the traditional view of medicine as a charitable vocation and points out common financial pitfalls that can leave doctors and patients alike short‑changed. The author argues that clear, sensible business methods are essential for a thriving practice, and he invites readers to rethink old assumptions about fees and professionalism.

The book then moves into concrete strategies: designing attractive offices, handling correspondence efficiently, and using modest advertising to build a reputable public profile. It offers sample letters, tips on pricing, and advice on collaborating with rural physicians and specialists to expand a client base. Throughout, the tone stays practical, emphasizing ethical boundaries while showing how disciplined marketing and smart fee structures can benefit both doctor and patient.
