  1. A physician decided to leave a large physician practice because of philosophical differences in treatment practices (he believed in a more holistic approach than his colleagues) and strike out on his own. He developed a plan for a holistic treatment facility in which he would still be available to see patients part-time but he would also have a physician’s assistant who could see patient’s under his auspices full-time while he managed the practice.  He hired a chiropractor, a massage therapist, and an athletic trainer.  He then leased a facility within which he housed his practice, set-up a training room, and opened up a retail store to sell health drinks, vitamins, and other health foods.  Consider the eight pricing strategies discussed in Chapter 9 (pp. 303-307).  Select six of these eight pricing strategies and discuss how each of the six might be applied within the physician’s new endeavor.(2 Pages)
