Ground rules
- Record hospitalized patient notes.
- Review radiology reports.
- Write medical certificates, referral letters, and summaries.
- Apply for my own overtime and approve requests from my team.
Prohibitions
- Don’t take naps during working hours. Focus entirely on the work.
- Avoid multitasking.
- Don’t think of the work as a hassle. Complete it without delay.
- Go home if sleepy.
- Rare diseases should be referred to advanced hospitals. As a physician at a community hospital, the most important role is not to treat rare diseases, but to avoid missing them.
- No burnout. It’s too late when you notice it.
Resolution
- Search for a better version of yourself and keep reading textbooks to master fundamentals.
