Behind the Scenes

My classmate and co-blogger Stephanie commented on this a while back, but it is amazing how much work is done for patients behind the scenes. We might only see patients for 30 minutes or so (at least in psychiatry; on other services, maybe 5 minutes) but we spend an impressive amount of time researching those patients, writing up recommendations, carrying out orders, presenting at rounds, thinking about diagnosis and treatment, blogging about them (just kidding). I think this is just a doctor's role in the hospital.
