He says he only discovered his love for medicine after qualifying as a Pharmacist. \u201cI then discovered the awesome amount of tools that are being used in Orthopaedic Surgery and I was hooked on becoming an Orthopaedic Surgeon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Fishcher performs his surgeries at Cure Day Hospitals Bloemfontein. By choosing Cure Day Hospitals for their minor surgical needs, patients can rest assured that they are in the hands of a highly skilled surgeon backed by a supportive and knowledgeable medical team.<\/p>\n<p>He is motivated by three things in life: God, family and friends. When it comes to building a business he believes that hunger, integrity and humility are the three most important characteristics one should have.<\/p>\n<p>His biggest professional achievement is becoming an Orthopaedic Surgeon. \u201cI come from a very small town and through grace and hard work I have the opportunity to touch people\u2019s lives through medicine,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>He adds that in his personal life being a husband and father is something he is proud of. \u201cThe support of my family and friends make all worthwhile. No achievement must be measured by money or fame but by the amount of friends and memories we accumulate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Philip, he is one of two partners at Fischer Human Orthopaedic Surgical practice. \u201cDr Bukkie Human and I went into private practice in 2014 and started the company in 2016. We have been friends for 24 years. We do the full range of Orthopaedic Surgery and strive to have a one-stop Orthopaedic Service for our patients,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Philip and Dr Bukkie believe that any business that is built on a foundation of service, empathy and principle will be successful no matter the economic climate. \u201cWe also belief in a fair price with no co-payments. Adaptability is crucial in today\u2019s economy. Seeing the bigger picture without sweating the small stuff is also essential,\u201d says Dr Philip.<\/p>\n<p>He adds that their business success is mostly based on their ability to listen to their patients, going the extra mile and giving a hundred percent no matter the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing a doctor for 20 years now, I am privileged to be able to look back and reassess life choices. Firstly enjoying what you do is so important. If you enjoy what you do you will never work one day in your life. Stop taking life so seriously, none of us is going to leave it alive. All of us will die, but only some of us will live,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>He adds that one should always try to find joy in small things, then big things will happen spontaneously. \u201cMake God the number one priority, family second and friends third. Work will sort itself out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Philip spends his downtime with friends and family. \u201cI love guns, watches and anything with wheels and an engine. Hunting plays a big part in my life and I am an avid collector of mechanical watches. Off-roading with the 4\u00d74 and riding motorcycles really relaxes me. Boating and fishing complete the circle in the summer months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get in touch<\/strong>:\u00a0 (051) 522 5806<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Text and photography: JUSTINE FORTUIN<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDo what you love, find someone you love, be humble and don&#8217;t take yourself or live too seriously.\u201d \u2013 Dr Philip Fischer Dr Philip Fischer is an Orthopaedic Surgeon at Fischer Human Orthopaedic Surgical Practice.
