Everyone who came through the door trusted him implicitly. It felt like a safe environment where he was offering them opportunities to reduce their pain while seeing him less. I really appreciated the opportunity to learn and thank you to GLMS for allowing us to partake in this.” GLMS Treasurer Brian Sosnin, DO, was partnered with David Buschman of the Health Enterprises Network (HEN) and both shared insights on how the day affected them. “It really was a blessing to me to work with David Buschman, because physicians have been really challenged with learning the business of medicine. It was exciting to hear what HEN is doing to help bring people together to solve these problems in our health care system,” Dr. Sosnin said.

We saw about 34 cases in one day, and the personal contact he’s able to have with patients is amazing.” Find Kudos about Member Achievements: www.glms.org. Click Media, then Kudos. Gastroenterologist Dr. Jeff Tuvlin was partnered with Norris Hamilton, VP and Assistant General Manager of Horseshoe Southern Indiana, and the two became fast friends. “Norris dove right in and everybody on the staff loved him. I think they’d rather work with him than me somedays,” laughed Dr. Tuvlin. “This really is 2 a great program for attracting people in the com- munity who want to be engaged in health care.” “My day could not have been more special,” Ham- ilton said. “The team Dr. Tuvlin works with is so engaging. I see how they work together, and how important the relationships they have are. I talked to some of the assistants and they all said Dr. Tuvlin engages them in the work they do and makes them feel important. I envied the time Dr. Tuvlin gave to each and every one of his patients. That’s something we all crave as patients. Wow, this guy is amazing.” After all the stories had been shared, GLMS CEO/ Executive Vice President Bert Guinn thanked ev- eryone for coming and encouraged them not to end the discussion here. “I know the physicians here really appreciate your comments. They do this every day, but having someone come in and see their work from a dif- ferent perspective is so valuable,” Guinn said. “We don’t have an agenda for this event other than to let you walk in the shoes of a physician. Let’s talk, and let’s have a conversation about how we can improve this community together.” Thank you to our Wear the White Coat Experience supporters, the GLMS Foundation and Epic Insur- ance Solutions.
