During power cuts we also illuminate our rooms with the light emerging
from our nether regions.
I type all my own referrals at the end of each surgery. EMIS provides
a handy word processor template which brings up all significant
problems, medication and allergies from the summary. Usually I only
have to add a simple paragraph before printing it.
We have never used choose and book, and I am increasingly optimistic
that we will never have to.
QOF tasks are a pain, but my anally retentive nature obliges me to
complete them. EMIS pop-ups help, but they do add significantly to my
stress during a busy surgery. That is one reason I am planning to
reduce my hours.
I try to be patient-centred. A recent episode on the wrong side of the
doctor-patient relationship has helped.
Insurance medicals are not my strong point, it often takes me two
weeks (and sometimes more).
Blood tests are eyeballed by someone in the practice, usually within
24 hours, to look for unexpected potentially dangerous results. Other
abnormal results are forwarded to the originator to be dealt with
routinely.
