This sounds like a crazy question. But it really isn’t. What does a doctor do? What’s my job with my patients. What is a doctor’s role? Some of what I do is transactional. Simple stuff with clear end-points. Some of it involves critical conversations and deeper kinds of thinking, planning, and translating. Breaking my job down into different roles I got to thinking about what I do on a daily basis.

EM Literature of Note
OCTOBER 18, 2021
Pervasive use of CT coronary angiography has been an unnecessary feature of the evaluation of patient with low-risk chest pain for the better part of a decade now. The argument behind its use – a normal examination confers a durable protective effect – is obviously nonsensical, as this bestows agency upon the test itself. Obviously, in a low-risk population with rare adverse outcomes, there can be no reasonable expectation of value in testing.

Male physicians have a 40% increased risk of suicide compared to their age-matched peers and female physicians have a 130% increased risk.
