Today was my first day shadowing a local doctor here in Rexburg! We saw mostly old people and a few children, including a one year old baby. It was interesting to shadow the doctor and spend time in his office, getting to know the nurses while the doctor was in with patients I couldn't be in with for various reasons. The children were all so cute! And the old people SOOoooOo talkative, looking for someone to listen to them to distract them from their personal issues. There was a surprisingly large amount of waiting around while the doctor updated papers and charts, mostly on his laptop that he carried around with him to each appointment. I had not realized before how much paperwork was involved. The doctor said for each patient he spends roughly 20 minutes in paperwork. Even the nurses had a lot of paperwork to update. What do you call paperwork if it's on the computer?... computerwork...?
