Reply to comment by buried_lede in Any doctors here by jay1982k

Id love to.l come to ct. i also need to afford it. If the pay works out i lrobably will. My efforts are generally to dictate in front lf pt. Outside of the bullshit template we all use the hpi, important parts of physical, assessment, plan is all thru dictation so pt can corrext me in office.

Separarely, to cya i sometimes tell ppl what i think, my plan and order it and then also refer or do the escalated next step (advanced imaging) in case im wrong/or meeds more urgency and let them know of it so theyre on board. If they dont wnat to do it up to them. Most patients seem pleased.

I still haven figured iut the patient who comes to me for care accepts the next minor step and then doesnt come to me dor a year even tho i asked them to follow up within a month etc and then blames em for not being urgent. Ugh.

Huh, interesting last paragraph

As for the cya of documenting facts and communicating well with patients, that’s great but I meant the other kind of cya where people just plain lie to cover up their miserable treatment. Every nurse and doctor having a bad day pawns it off on the patient who took the brunt of it. Lot of high stress

Well thats unfortunate. I dont find primary care stressful. Unless they turn the practice into urgent care. Having an emergency train wreck walk in is. Never fun. Hopefully people like me can give a positive impression but it may take time.
