Hey doc! In today's episode of ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I'm challenging the criticism many excellent Physicians face: "Why are you so slow?"

The "slow" Physicians often have the happiest patients, best outcomes, and fewest complications. There's a direct connection between taking time and providing excellent care.

We explore:

  • Why patients prefer thorough care over quick visits
  • How comprehensive documentation improves continuity of care
  • The connection between surgical precision and better outcomes
  • Why patient education reduces complications

Key insights: When you take time with patients, they understand their health better, follow treatment plans more effectively, and experience fewer complications. Your detailed documentation helps other providers deliver better care. Your careful surgical technique prevents readmissions. 

Doc, your commitment to thorough care creates better outcomes. Don't let anyone rush your excellence.
