Agree with all of this. Every time I start to feel overwhelmed I remind myself of two things: 1. That is by design and 2. I am not easily intimidated

Hmm. Another good hypothesis
comment in response to post
A hypothesis: usually the best care for a person happens when invested in knowing all of the contributions to health &feel connected to them. Brings joy when you can help, but true hurt when you cannot bec you are embedded in a practice that either is under-resourced, or worse, uncaring or harmful

And our EMR
comment in response to post
I appreciate this @gimapreceptor.bsky.social It so often feels like we have to just take it or leave. I put a lot of hope into the power of big orgs to help. For me this has been the #ACP. I see @darilynmoyer.bsky.social @billfoxmd.bsky.social and others on the right side of this.

So painful and so familiar. Ugh. Something has to give. These insurance shenanigans are out of hand.

An older woman, describing how her husband’s eyes bugged out seeing a very attractive woman recently, told me of him, “There may be snow on the roof but there’s still fire in the furnace” and I snickered all day thinking about that expression. Our patients are the best.

Absolute best

To be clear: I like that pts can ask more, I just struggle w the volume and no designated time to reply
comment in response to post
Wish I had an answer! Mostly I like inbox messages because the whole exchange becomes part of the chart, rather than having to write a summary of a call, BUT barrier so low for pts to ask they can ask more than if they had to call or wait until visit, but we aren’t given extra time to answer.
