Slow Down, Finish Faster
Define "finish". For that matter, define "faster".<p>When I was working as a junior doctor, I had colleagues who "saw" 10 patients in the space I saw 3.<p>Whenever I was on call at night, I could spot the patients who were "seen" by those colleagues, because it was always the patients who crashed or needed their meds re-writing to remove the allergy risks or needed to have their bloods ordered and taken, or even had to be re-clarked from scratch because the history and exam were utter bullshit, not to mention dangerously so. (I once re-clarked an old lady who was admitted for confusion affecting her ability to communicate and was about to receive all sorts of scans and radiation. When I talked to her, it turned out she had just lost her hearing aid and couldn't hear anything.)<p>Still, it was always the "tenners" who were praised.<p>(PS. I no longer work as a doctor. Fuck that shit.)<p>(PS2. Obviously this isn't unique to medicine. I have the same problems inheriting crappy untested code now, haha.)
