A thousand decisions


In the course of a day I feel as though I need to make hundreds (maybe even a thousand?) decisions. What problem is most pressing for the patient? What treatments should I choose? Doses? Durations? When should they be rechecked? Should they be referred? If so, where?

Sometimes it’s stressful (especially when I have to look a bunch of things up for a case), and I’m definitely tired at the end of the day, but it’s also kind of fun in a strange way.
