This is a reflective article describing the author's insight gained during his establishing of a new general practice. These insights are shared by discussing five myths the author has had to dispense with in his first year as a private practitioner. These myths relate to professional advertising, income generation outside the practice, adopting the role of businessman, handling of debt defaulters and the role of home visitation.
