Who said family medicine is easy?

I feel so drained. Every day...9-6....and I feel TOTALLY drained afterwards. When I get home, I eat dinner, and I just need to veg ALL night long. For example, tonight I watched TV for 4 hours straight. Feels so GOOD.

Why is family medicine so hard? Why does everyone have a billion problems that they want you to fix all in one appointment? Why are people so consciously unhealthy?? I don't care if stress makes you smoke. Try chewing gum or something.

I really do feel blessed to be healthy. All I have to do is to see a patient who just had his left leg amputated from diabetes and I thank my lucky stars. The other day I saw a woman who was so obese that her pannus probably weighed about 60 pounds. She could have pannus-butted me and knocked me unconscious.

Anywho...shouldn't be making fun of my patients...but sometimes, they do brighten my day.
