Why would you round on a patient 4 times. That doesn’t even make sense. If you really need to see them repeatedly you better be calling the ICU.
I pre-round in the AM, then with resident, then with attendings, then afternoon rounds. Welcome to Prelim Medicine year
I did my medicine year. Big, academic, tertiary, trauma, covered 4 surrounding states. That’s not how it works. I can’t tell if you’re inept or a liar.
10 minutes a patient. 10 patients. 4 times.
= 6.6 hours / day.
This does not include the part of attending rounds when he wants to really “connect with the patient.” This adds another 10-20 minutes per patient.
No beef with style differences. Just beef with realities that don’t exist.
