Worry

There’s so much on the plate now, it’s easy to lose sight of the patient:

I feel sure – or at least hope – that the good doctor still worries about their patients but it seems all the other worries – like how to keep the practice viable and not be audited by CMS and somehow be stewards of the limited medical resources, or if you prescribed the “wrong” drug according to the patient’s prescription plan, or if you had enough patients with a low enough A1c to not be delisted by the patient’s insurance plan – may well encroach on the available worry time and energy.
