Hey,

So I'm a fresh medical doctor and for the past few months I've been building automation workflows on Make like patient triage, WhatsApp reminders, auto-routing intake forms to the right doctor. Stuff that actually makes sense clinically because I understand the workflows from the inside.

Now I'm looking at n8n because anything touching patient data basically needs to be self hosted. Can't argue with that.

But honestly? The more I think about selling this, the more I talk myself out of it.

Doctors are scared of litigation. Like, genuinely scared. Getting them to trust a third party automation guy with patient data isn't a two call close. It's months of "let me run this by our legal team" and then silence. I'd be doing weeks of free education and hand holding before a single rupee comes in. That sales cycle sounds soul crushing.

And then there's the bigger worry that Epic, Zoho Health, and every major EMR is quietly building this stuff natively. Why would a clinic pay me when their existing software rolls it out as a feature update?

I keep getting told my clinical background is the differentiator. And okay, maybe. I do understand why a triage workflow needs to be built a certain way, not just how to connect the nodes. But is that actually enough for someone to pay thousands when Claude and built in tools exist?

I want to stick with this but I also need to earn something within a reasonable time to not lose my mind. If first income is 12 months away I'm cooked.

Anyone here who's actually sold automation to healthcare clients? How long did it take, and was the compliance angle a genuine selling point or just more friction?

Assalamu alaikum guys,

Where in Multan can I get cement dumbbells made, or maybe find some used/old dumbbells at an affordable price?

The branded ones at sports stores and online are quite expensive, so I’m just looking for a budget friendly option, either getting them made locally or buying second hand.

If anyone knows places, shops, or people who make them, please guide me.
