Is the paper work really that bad?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It was a whole slew of issues; no insurance, lack of citizenship/not even permanent greencard holders. Parents got scared when the kid like started shivering/stopped eating, they go to the ED thinking its a quick fix, instead **** hit the fan. Happy the transfer worked, but it shouldn't be the case where attendings have to fly to hospitals to fight with admin for transfers. That isn't medicine. That's business. Unfortunately, the two are so intertwined now, it really hinders doctors from doing their jobs.
Yikes.
 
Virtually all of it are patient medical records from the past day or two waiting to be updated and then entered into the system. I can call either doctor 2 or 3 hours after their last patient at 5-6pm and they will invariably finishing up reports, charts, forms from the day.

Looks like the mail room threw up in your brother’s office. I see a lot of clutter and unopened mail. I find it interesting that neither one of them have a computer in their work area. The doctor offices that I’ve seen look nothing like that. I don’t doubt there is a lot of paperwork. My own doc complains about that. The men in your photos look like they could use some help with organization.
