No I don’t have time to eat or pee. Just too busy when all pts show up. I take the time they need with them and always am behind schedule. I don’t have a midlevel and am a solo practitioner so don’t have time to do research or teach and get paid or have mentors in arms distance to discuss cases with. I take work home all the time because there’s just too much of it. I try not to let work stress me but it is hard to do when you deal with half a dozen drug denials a day among many other things you deal with with pts. Especially dealing with insurance companies who just play games so they deny drugs wears me out and brings me to near burnout. I try to keep my head up and have a life- work balance and try to spend time with my kids and socialize and go on vacations which are not really off times but is ok because I’m used to it. I try to still be happy because I actually help people and when they appreciate it the gratitude in their eyes is worth all the hard work and frustration. So am I the happiest of all physicians? Maybe not but I wouldn’t want to be doing anything different.
