I started my practice due to not having enough time to educate my patients about what is going on with their bodies through the menopause transition. I make the time to educate them and help them understand what’s going on with their bodies and how they can manage their health in this huge life transition. It’s the most rewarding position I’ve ever held (next to being a mom 😉)

Goodness no! I understand the importance but we just seem to be firefighting all the time so don't have the chance to do this... what came first? Chicken or egg?

Unfortunately no. I used to before I became a supervisor because when I spoke with patients I would always take the time to explain anything that I could, but now I only speak with them to deal with a complaint or something like that.

No, well at least nothing of significance. We do what every healthcare office does . We have our little brochures in the waiting room and in the patients room. We send an email newsletter generated by some marketing agency. And that is about it. I’m not aware of any healthcare provider who is actively trying to improve patient literacy.

1hr added to the mega load we have to do. Everyone doing well with there’s?

So I'm winding down a three-month LOA for my mental health and burnout. It took a month to feel semi-normal; new meds, new routines, and therapy.

I have discussed the mid-career crisis aspect and think I'm still there, I just do not care about the job anymore.
