We put this post up last week and it was a major hit. You can read it here and look at the comments from that post for more additions. I thought I would add the comments I found on FB to this post:
- When he’s been your patient for three years, and now you’ve lasted longer than any of his marriages.
- Your patients call to check on YOU when you’re sick and yell at EACH OTHER to remember not to bother you when you go away for a weekend.
- Your patients text you their positive pregnancy tests.
- You get to ask “Is there anything else?”
- You look at your watch and realize you spent 90 minutes talking with your patient, and the next patient hasn’t even arrived yet.
- ‘Do whatever you want’ is after all not as scary as it sounds?
- When your patient drops by just to say hello.
- When you answer the phone and your patient can sense you’re not having a swell day .
- My notes are short and concise.
- When there is a Texas freeze and you and your family have no heat to keep warm they text you to come over because they have an entire home generator but you kindly refuse bc your husband is too damn embarrassed to take them on the offer. I had three.
- You have time to make TikTok’s and Instagram reels.
- You don’t have to worry about rvu’s…and you know your patients name,and their kids names, and you are happy to see them!
- You answer the phone and your patient can’t believe the doctor is answering the phone.
- Your patients make bake goods for you.
- Your patients come to have lunch at the office with you.
