Cosmetic Surgery Meetings and travel

Its been a while since I have written much on my personal blog Doctor808–well the question is why? I guess the answer is I have been busy with too many things, some useless, some worthwhile. This post will present a hodge podge of chaos.

Since my last writing I took up farming (in my back yard) , went to various travels for my web company AiMiYo LTD , Business in Thailand and medical meetings.

Peppers grew in my Garden

I look through my last 24 months and I have been on a lot of trips.

Korea with Dr. Lee , Dr Cuvo

My garden has grown nice peppers, eggplant and squash.

MY Operating room

Asian Surgery Colleques

Done a lot of surgery and taught a lot of surgery and learned a lot of technique as well.

I love Asia because its different and I always learn something new and exciting as well.

Europe on the other hand is relaxing and serene to me. I never learn as much there as far as Plastic Surgery goes as I get the latest through American Plastic Surgery Literature. So Europe is more of a vacation and some work. Yet I confess I take it easy there.

The Praque

Shinjuku Crossing

Clinic In China and gang

From Tokyo to Dailin China my travels have been intersting to say the least.

So this has kept me busy.

Street Bangkok Thailand

Did I mention Hong Kong, Vegas and Kauai ?

Some of these more than once. My plan was to write about each trip and make a journal to some degree but as mentioned I was busy with:

-writing content for web sites

-running a cosmetic practice

-improving my design skills with illustrating web sites -photoshop, fireworks and various web design programs

-teaching my fellow surgeons and learning from them

Also I spend some time setting up web servers and then there is the financial aspect , bookeeping billing and many more things too busy to mention. When you are the chief of these things, all the stuff people who work for you who do not do, then falls on you to do. I cannot even keep myself organized so that’s the last thing I need is to be mommy to others. Yet that is what I do.

So I have made some decisions about prioritizing some things. All of this came about on this trip to Las Vegas for 5 days in which I attended various lectures and had the AiMiYo booth to show our web talents and try to get a few new clients. More on that later.

Cosmetic Surgery Meeting Vegas !

The medical meeting side of things is what I really enjoyed as talking to doctors about Internet marketing is really a struggle. There are two types , those who think they know everything and those who do not even know how to spell : HTTP. Well I am not sure which one is harder to deal with. Some from last years meeting I talked to about web marketing were worse off so I got to say “I told you so” and then others were so hard to educate that it will take a year.

SO back to the medical meetings. I was not a lecturer this time which I was rather happy about that. I need to improve my skills not only teach others. I must say the lectures here and the quality of the speeches were excellent. What this was a multi specialty conference meaning there were not only Plastic Surgeons but Dermatologist, Ear Nose and throat doctors in summary everyone who performs cosmetic surgery.

One of the huge topics here was fillers of the face, fat , sculptura, restylene  and the host of products on the market. I was amazed at some of the results these doctors were getting with non surgical methods. As a surgeon of course I have some extra tools ( no pun intended) to use  so I can not only make corrections with non surgical means but can offer surgery. Yet that aside, I was surprised at some of the fantastic results some doctors were showing. It energized me towards looking to do more in the non surgical realm.

So this next year for me will definitely be one of pursing some of the nonsurgical methods and improving my own.

The scoop on these medical meetings is one has to learn to sort out what is valuable and what is hype. If you followed this blog before you will know I am not one for hype and like to use things in my practice which really work rather than to spread the gospel according to “marketing bible”. What that means is No I do not use something simply because its NEW BETTER IMPROVED AND THE IN THING.  I take the reality of if something works very seriously.

That is the main scoop of these medical meetings. Choose what you learn wisely.

I promise my readers I will back track and keep up in the future about what I have been up to..news and and information. I also my next post will not be CHAOTIC. Yet That’s my mind after travels.

until then…
