I shadowed a DO over the past few days. He's an opthalmologist (retinal specialty) and there's only two doctors in the practice but they never work on the same day. They have maybe 3 or 4 offices that span like 200 miles and travel to them all weekly. When I was there he saw about 60 patients in 12 hours. He did his dictations in the room with the patient (is this unusual?)
Is this a common occurrence or just evidence that this area is underserved medically? Granted this is a highly specialized practice, even so, in a given week the doctor I shadowed could see over 200 patients.
I'm also wondering if this would be at all useful in a PS?
