I sense that paperwork will be my least favorite part of medicine. Are there some specialties that do virtually no paperwork, and some that spend the majority of thier time doing it? Can those of you in the know maybe list the top 5 specialties for most and least amount of paperwork.
While we're at it, many people have said rounding is annoying. I'm not sure how I feel about these yet, but am curious how specialties fall in these categories.
Here are my impressions from VERY limited experience. Please make your own list to let me know where my assumptions are right/wrong.
--------------------------------
Most Patient Notes / Paperwork:
1. IM
2. Neurology
3. Pathology
4.
5.
Least Patient Notes / Paperwork:
1. Surgery
2. Anasthesiolgy
3. Radiology
4. EM
5.
--------------------------------
Most Rounding:
1. IM
2.
3.
4.
5.
Least Rounding:
1. Rads
2. Path
3. Anesthesiology
4. EM
5.

Again, these are my very rough impressions from limited experience. Just to get the ball rolling.
