I had to be on top of thirteen people, about eight of whom had a lot of stuff happening which needed to be addressed fairly acutely. Don was the same way. So needless to say, were hurting. Now I can easily schedule three in a day, which is as it should be. But when you're trying to do this with eight folks in addition to four or five fairly stable individuals, things fall through the cracks.
Patient care suffers.
I kept missing things, some of them trivial and some very important indeed, and he would just fix them. I don't have the faintest clue how he does it - I can only hope that I'll be that good one of these days. Fortunately it's pretty transparent to the patients, 'cause he smoothes over all of the cracks that I'm leaving. In the meantime though, I'm killing the poor guy with my ignorance. Tomorrow's Sunday, and we're taking hits for twenty-four hours.
