John W. Schaeffer, MD, FACC, explains his philosophy: “The organization, operation, and management of a medical practice differ from all other commercial ventures in that we do not deal with material goods manufactured or sold for profit. Physicians deal in service to mankind, and they deal with the ill and distressed who come to them for only one reason; they need help and guidance.”
