Nowadays with medicine there is a lot of paperwork that's required. Every encounter or every patient visit requires a note that consists of quite a bit of documentation and within that documentation you have to include certain things for insurance companies to read and look at in order to really be reimbursed as a physician but also to allow them to get coverage for medications or imaging studies that we want to order. And it's a little bit of a headache trying to keep up with all of the requirements for that. I'd much prefer to just be able to talk with people and see how I could help them best but the documentation is a little bit of a pain sometimes.

Least favorite aspect of being a physician, I've been pretty positive on here, so I just wanted to give it to you straight. I think if you ask most physicians, the least favorite aspect is the non-patient interaction time. It's inbox management, it's writing notes at the end of the day, it's keeping up with those tasks that can be especially difficult. You know, I'm not very good at getting my notes done right when I'm in the patient room or after the patient room. I talk too much, my wife tells me, and so I'm doing, you know, time outside of clinic hours finishing these tasks and oftentimes those are the things that can lead to the most burnout. So I need to get better for sure at those things, but again, it can't all be good. Can't know the good without the bad.
