Uh... Isn&#x27;t the fix to just stop taking more patients than you can handle comfortably and enjoyably? Maybe that, paired with encouraging more of the younger generation to become doctors (to cover for the patients you feel like you might be abandoning?)?<p>Doctors are extremely valuable workers&#x2F;members of society, I&#x27;m surprised that they don&#x27;t feel more in-control of the situation (if you want shorter notes, push for it?)...<p>Also, this assumption that constant note taking makes someone feel like they&#x27;re not being treated as human isn&#x27;t completely convincing either... If my doctor takes notes while I speak to him&#x2F;her (and it was made clear at least once that I have their attention), that impresses on me that they&#x27;re doing their job, which is far more important to me than the feeling of being treated like a human for an hour.<p>Also, why not just take micro breaks during billable time to do notes? bill for the 45 minutes, notes for 15 mins, take notes right in front of the person, and let them know what is happening?<p>Maybe this just seems easy to fix to me because I&#x27;m an outsider
