It never ends
Today's post title comes from my medical director who saw me immersed in paperwork late today and decided to stage an intervention of sorts. He brought me to his office and showed me some of his "to-be-done" pile. Which wasn't large by any means. In fact, last week he encouraged me to complete refills, review results, and address other things between seeing patients. Really? I've tried, but I'm working hard at just trying to stay on schedule, let alone do my busy work between patients. Nice thought though. But I think the point he was trying to make was that you have to develop a system of being efficient and of not letting things fall through the cracks without letting the work take over too much of your life. Which is good advice. It's taken so much work and determination to get up here and it would be a shame if I never got a chance to enjoy the place now that I am here.
