Been a great "recovery" week after exams. Now the final push to finals for the term. Lots of stuff for sure on a cumulative (everything since the start of the term). but I've got some time. Catch up on errands for sure this weekend...
Very encouraging eh? You have to be 1 chromosome short of a quadrisomy to want to go into a profession that half the people doing it want "out". And with a looming shortage and decent income, you would think that job security would be enticing. But no! The system is so broken, the strains so vast, the paperwork so onerous, the insurance situation so intolerable, that 1/2 of family physicians would LEAVE the practice of medicine if there was a suitable alternative.
For me, and the new generation of docs, it may be more a matter of creating a different practice world, not have expectations of the unpredictable future, and playing an active role in recreating the system that has been so revolting to so many who are doing it.
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
