Suppose the doctor was really taken with your suffering and wanted to make a "project" out of getting to the bottom of your problem. Can he stop seeing patients and go Google your problem for half an hour? Can he call you up later to ask more questions about your patient history? Will he get paid if he learns enough about your lifestyle to find the root cause of your condition? I don't think so. All he can do is see you for fifteen minutes, whenever you come in, and maybe forward you to a different department and never know what happened to you. Even if he made you a project he'd likely not know if he failed or succeeded, and that's just not motivating.<br /><br />I think doctoring could be made a much more satisfying job than it is today by attending to basic human motivations like achievement (the desire to compete against increasingly challenging goals) and of course, the need for sleep.Noumenonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597461989960782762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202241003290273966.post-71448889828645167802010-10-24T06:58:25.221-07:002010-10-24T06:58:25.221-07:00Doctors like him are the reason there is a problem...Doctors like him are the reason there is a problem with the health care system - why does he not realize that the patients ARE his "new projects"?<br />He needs to either stop complaining and take pride in his profession or find another profession!Kim Shearinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202241003290273966.post-35583989802802240742010-10-15T11:28:46.130-07:002010-10-15T11:28:46.130-07:00I was telling one of your stories to a friend of m...I was telling one of your stories to a friend of mine the other day. He made the comment that he thought it was cool you weren't keeping these stories to yourself. I agree. <br /><br />Thanks for the stories. :)<br /><br />Ps. You're human. Seriously. Although you may be passionate about what you do, you'll have days where you don't care. I have days where I don't care either. Not often, but they happen. Usually means I need a break.

Many of them have schedules weirder than you do, except they are driven internally. Find several writer's groups on line and in person and show up when you have free time. Offer to help with medical research as long as you can do it on your schedule. Learn to crit other people's work. <br /><br />- KrisWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202241003290273966.post-51200407532065600942010-10-12T14:42:24.145-07:002010-10-12T14:42:24.145-07:00Do you have a friend to have a beer with? all the ...Do you have a friend to have a beer with? all the staff on boston med were closeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202241003290273966.post-82423837419861044072010-10-12T13:06:00.940-07:002010-10-12T13:06:00.940-07:00Hey, it could be worse.

Or maybe lose your arm to a helicopter blade only to have another helicopter fall of the top of the hospital and flatten you a few weeks later, so a middle-aged newly out lesbian colleague could name an LGBT treatment center after your homophobic ass.

I don't get bored because it's the same plastic. I try to see if I can make the same plastic with fewer moves and less waste. I'd see if I could develop a script to tease a patient history out of a guy. I'd make a little flowchart detailing how to avoid the dead ends in diagnosing respiratory illness. But maybe doctors aren't factory workers because they'd rather be boring than nerds?Noumenonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597461989960782762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202241003290273966.post-44451137612819994052010-10-11T18:52:26.966-07:002010-10-11T18:52:26.966-07:00Many many many many jobs have the same routine.
