No matter how hard you try, you can't seem to keep to the appointment schedule. You're not alone! In this episode of Am I Doing It Wrong, Dr. Becc and Kristeen Barker explore the surprising reasons why doctors often run late, and why it has almost nothing to do with your efficiency. This episode of Am I Doing It Wrong tackles a common struggle for doctors: running behind in clinic. Hosts Dr. Becc and Kristeen Barker debunk the myth that doctors who run late are simply not good enough. Instead, they explore the hidden factors that contribute to this problem, such as unrealistic appointment times, unclear expectations, and the pressure to prioritise speed over quality care. The episode also highlights the importance of self-compassion. Many doctors blame themselves for running late, leading to feelings of shame and frustration. Dr. Becc and Kristeen encourage doctors to make choices in their practice that align with their professional standards of patient care, even if it means adjusting appointment times or clinic workflows. Key points discussed: Doctors often feel like failures when they run late in clinic. The reasons for running late are often complex and not related to a doctor's competency. Unrealistic expectations, allowing medicare to suggest standards for doctors, people-pleasing your patients and being unwilling to take more authority are common reasons doctors run late. Doctors need to prioritise their own values and standards and practice in a way that feels authentic. Are you struggling to keep to time in clinic too? Share your experiences and frustrations with us. Let's start a conversation about how to create a better system for doctors and patients alike.
