I found primary care docs to be consumed by mountains of mundane paperwork such as filling out disability forms, referral forms, insurance forms, imaging request forms, etc. There is nothing cognitively challenging about convincing a part-time employee at an insurance company whose job it is to deny requests, why your patient needs an MRI. I find that unfortunate b/c these docs are spending tons of time fighting red tape, time that could be better spent with patients. However, I can agree to disagree if your business model is different. Good for you.
I don't think that's really limited to primary care. Sounds pretty much word for word of the day of the rad onc I shadowed. Just replace some of the paperwork with voice recordings.
