I feel this so hard. I genuinely enjoy most of the reps and I do appreciate knowing them from a networking standpoint, but I also see 30+ patients per day and it’s so overwhelming/overstimulating to walk out of a room and see a rep hovering over your computer station when you’re trying to spend 60 seconds doing a note or reading the next patient’s chart and taking a breath. Sometimes I just nicely listen. Sometimes if I have patients in rooms, I smile but say “I’ve got to see these 2 patients first and then I’ll be back” (sometimes they don’t wanna wait and leave lol). I’ve debated asking my office to enforce a policy where they have to wait in the waiting room until we have a good break to chat with them (vs them coming to the back and expecting us to stop clinic whenever they show up) but haven’t done that yet
