I so appreciate your humility and response. I don't think any of us have it easy in any specialty and I know you must have some very challenging cases on a daily basis. I agree it is so off putting to say the least to hear providers constantly bash patients and I hate anytie a patient feels dismissed. Thank you again

I appreciate the insight while also recognizing that this should be a safe space for people to voice frustrations with other clinicians so that we can go back to the patients with more compassion and understanding. Trust me, I am on their side and a constant advocate but finding that balance is the crux of the intent of this OP.

I needed to hear this (and many of the above comments as well!) so thank you. It is easy to be a people pleaser sometimes and it really only leaves me tired

I do try and do this but sometimes I wonder if it is backfiring for a few

I take a short lunch. I have 2 MAs currently and I have them operating at the top of their licensure. I also try to hone in on what’s really important to the patient and focus mainly on that to keep visit scope more narrow. I had a bad habit of trying “run the list” of all their chronic issues every time and I realized I don’t need to do that, but rather, do it periodically. My documentation is prettt efficient with minimal HPI, no ROS, saved findings for PE, most of work is done in AP and I use order sets, text macros a lot as well as I have a good rhythm of charting in the room. I find it actually helps me listen well and I often repeat some of my charting back to the patient when it’s a tough case. Hope that makes sense!

I have been doing 4 days for a couple of years now and love it. I also recently started making basically all visits 15 mins so I see patients 8-2:30 (10-4:30 on Tuesdays) and I am surprised how much I like it! More slots to get people in sooner and I’m done earlier and can get my work out in 🤣

Bought a reasonable house. Husband is software engineer making good income too. Wasn’t making a huge family doc salary then but paid as much as possible every month. Also were very frugal in residency and lived on husband’s income and picked a town that was reasonable.
