Bis Das Si Cito Das

Bis das si cito das is one of my favorite phrases that I learned while studying Latin in high school. It literally translates to “twice you give if quickly you give” and it more or less means “you give twice if you give quickly.”

This idea has stuck with me more than a decade later and it is part of the ethos of our work at Plum Health and as a direct primary care doctor.

When a patient has a problem, the best time to address it is now. If one of our patients calls our office, we do our best to answer the phone right away. When one of our patients texts us or emails us, we do our best to respond with in a few minutes or a few hours. We guarantee a response within 24 hours for these sort of digital communications.

When we give information and guidance to our patients quickly, it’s worth more to them than having to wait hours and hours or maybe even days and days for the appropriate care and guidance. That’s one of the big reasons why our patients stay with us long term - we offer unrivaled speediness when it comes to responding to their health concerns.

Therefore, bis das si cito das.

Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day,
