Armpit temperature as accurate as rectal temperature

Article Abstract:

Rectal temperature is generally considered to be the most accurate measure of body temperature, but a study published in the American Medical Assn's Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine indicates that axillary temperature readings can be just as accurate. One degree Celsius must be added to the axillary reading, however, so that it matches the rectal reading. The study also found that, for patients more than one month old, forehead strip thermometers provide acceptable readings.

Consider 'good will' in determining value of your practice

Article Abstract:

Physicians selling their practices can often receive more than book value by factoring in good will value. Good will value is calculated by subtracting the book value from the fair market value. Since good will indicates the likelihood of a return on the investment, buyers will pay more. Office systems that are uniquely adapted to the practice can also increase its value.
