![]() ![]() I am currently working for a company dealing with VA, I love it solely for the company and the fact that I get to help veterans. If you do workers compensation, personally I find it tedious and terrible due to precision needed since those reports go to court, so it’s a lot of editing and revisions. We had 20-30 patients a day, whereas the other practice it was around 10-20 depending on the day. ![]() For my urgent care I essentially took notes and completed charts only for doctors to sign off. A lot of the places I worked at were more report heavy and less seeing patients and being just a scribe. Most private practices tend to be slower, I’ve never done emergency department, but I assume it’s significantly slower than ED. I loved the pace of urgent care since it was faster. I’ve worked in occupational health, urgent care, veteran’s affairs, workers compensation, and a nerve specialty. Eventually it all becomes formualic to you and you literally just prescribe the entire visit before the doctor even sees the patient. The exciting cases are always the traumas which are probably like 3 a day on average. I’ve learned a lot about orthopedics and tbh orthopedics has a lot of general knowledge I wish I had known before. Only thing we have to really worry about is HPI, the relevant part of the physical exam (usually only musculoskeletal), and then medical decision making aka the plan. ![]() Seeing 50 patients is the normal for the doctor. We usually never finish before 5:30 and then I also have to spend 30 minutes cleaning up the charts. The regular hours are pretty nice (8-5), although it’s really not. I have no idea how ED scribing is but at least with me, I feel like a real member of the family. I work for a great doctor and a great nurse practitioner. I work in ortho and it’s pretty enjoyable. ![]()
