General question for the other attendings:
It takes me time to do my charts. I'm very thorough; and when I get interrupted by an RN/MLP/whatever, it really puts me behind. I regularly have charts from 1-2 shifts ago that I'm catching up on during my next shift. My medical director regularly freaks out on me, saying that its a "huge liability!" etc. etc. etc.
I fail to see how its a huge liability. The charts that I "leave undone" are my low-acuity ones which are your basic ankle sprain/cough n cold/whatever visits. Hard to prove negligence on these "level 3 and below" visits.
Am I missing something big here ?
