Routine

Weekday timeline

6:00 wake up.

7:00 arrive at the office.

  • Check my schedule.

17:00 write the log.

19:00 leave the office.

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.
