Q: See if there is any physician support available in your area for billing advice and and support - there are most often local resources to help physicians with this. Also, billing is one task that you do not want to delegate to office staff. Once you have mastered it, it takes very little time, and most EMR (electronic medical record) systems have the billing process embedded within the software itself making it quick and simple. You know your patients best, and as such you are the one who can bill most appropriately and most comprehensively for the services you have provided. It is important to become aware of what is and is not covered for patients under a pre-paid healthcare plan, and how to go about invoicing patients for services that are not covered (or invoicing third parties in cases where that applies). Take your time to become familiar with how the billing process applies to patients and be upfront about any costs that will come out of the patient's pocket. Clear communication and disclosure of costs is important. You will want to know how much money to set aside, when tax payments are due (for example, you may pay taxes quarterly), and the differences in tax filing for a business owner as opposed to an employee of a company. You will have many things that you can write-off as a business owner, so you will want to keep receipts related to your business in a special folder. It is also advisable to use a separate bank account and credit card for all business income and expenses. It is important to consider your long-term financial goals, and to appropriately plan for retirement with a goal age of when you will close your practice, and an idea of the money you will need to sustain your lifestyle. Planning your overall financial goals will help to keep you on track as you begin your own medical practice.
A: Understand the billing process. Establish a process for informing patients of costs of services. Speak to an accountant regarding taxes. Consult with a financial advisor to put a long-term plan into place.

Q: This is the minimum amount you can charge per ticket to break even. You may like to run your first gig as non profit, to get people in your area interested in local gigs. If you want to make a profit, add on about 20% to this figure, but always have a round ticket price. It must be divisible by either 2 or 5. For example 11 is not OK but 12 or 10 is fine. If they don't print tickets, sell tickets on the door; there will be no paper and/or forged tickets involved this way. Use a hand stamp on people as they arrive. Get an original stamp, but remember, unless it's hand made someone else could have one. So get an original colour ink pad to use, and change the colour and stamp for every gig you run.
A: Add together all your costs so far to get your budget. Divide this by the number of tickets you have available for sale, not including ones you plan to give away for free. Get the venue to print your tickets, unless you're experienced in running gigs; it is probably included in their fee anyway. Try to avoid assigning seats unless the venue absolutely insists, first come, first served is much more appealing to a young crowd, and it will make sure everyone gets there on time for the first act.

Q: If your ears pop on a plane or while diving, the problem will usually right itself when you're back on land.  Even if the pressure doesn't equalize right away, after an hour or two your ears should feel normal again. In the meantime, yawning and swallowing can help you feel better faster. Some people take a few days for pressure to equalize in their ears, during which time hearing can be muffled, although this is rather rare. Get medical attention if the discomfort is severe, or if it persists for more than a day. Severe barotrauma is rare, but can cause permanent ear damage and bring about hearing loss. In very severe cases, barotrauma can cause the inner ear to rupture. This injury usually heals on its own, but you should see a doctor just in case there's another problem complicating the injury. If you experience any of the following symptoms that might indicate your inner ear has ruptured, get medical attention immediately:  Discomfort or pain that persists for several hours Severe pain Bleeding from the ears Hearing loss that doesn't go away In rare cases, surgery is required to restore equilibrium inside the ear. An incision is made in the eardrum to allow pressure and fluid to drain. If you experience severe pain that doesn't go away, see a doctor to determine whether surgery may be necessary. In the meantime, do not fly, dive, or perform any other activity that requires you to gain or lose significant altitude. If your ears pop again further injury could occur.
A: Wait for equilibrium to be restored. Look out for severe symptoms. Get treatment if the barotrauma persists.

Q: You want to know how strong your moonshine is, both for aging and as an indication of how well your distillation went. Be sure not to confuse the proof and tralle readings on the hydrometer. Your proof will always be two times the amount of the tralle. If you do decide to age your whiskey, you want it to go into the barrel at around 58% to 70% ABV. Aging will make the whiskey smoother and give it its distinctive taste. Whiskey will only age in barrels. When it is bottled, whiskey will stop aging.  Whiskey is generally aged in oak barrels. The barrels can be carefully charred or toasted first, or can be sourced from another distiller that's kept another spirit in the barrel for added flavor. If you want to add oak flavor to your moonshine but don't want to have to spring for a barrel, you can also add toasted oak chips to your whiskey. Toast your oak chips over low heat (200º F) in the oven for an hour, until they are aromatic but not yet charred. Remove and cool. Transfer to whiskey container and steep for  5 - 15 days or longer, depending on your tastes. Strain the whiskey through cheesecloth or a clean pillowcase to catch all the wood chips. . After your whiskey is aged, you'll want to dilute it before you drink it and bottle it. At this point, the whiskey is still probably 60% - 80% ABV, which would make for a fiery, uncomfortable drinking experience. It should be diluted to around 40% or 45% ABV for a much more pleasant drinking experience. Bottle your whiskey, along with a note on when you bottled it. Always drink responsibly.
A:
Use a proof and tralle hydrometer to test the ABV (alcohol by volume) of your moonshine. Age the whiskey. Dilute the whiskey Bottle and enjoy!
