Hiii sorry for the absence! I was working on a really cool commission that I can’t tell anyone about yet but when I can… Squee . Anyway. I’ve been on clinic. My patients tend to be pretty sick, even my returns. I’ve gotten better about typing more during my visits, but I still usually have 1-2 hours of note writing left when I go home. The concept of having to do this for the rest of my life is, admittedly, a not-insignificant part of what drew me away from primary care. . The expectation that we provide good care, connect with patients, and appropriately document for billing at the same time while not receiving additional compensation for practically doing another job is something that makes me think docs need to be better at advocating for ourselves. What efforts have you guys seen to take this extra burden off. . . #procreate #illustration #webcomic #healthcare #resident #intern #inpatient #doctor #relatable #womeninmedicine #blackdoctors #graphicmedicine #premed #premedmotivation #residency #internalmedicine #medschool #medicine #medicalschool #medlife #md #medstudent #nurse #internalmedicine
