Have you ever imagined how a doctor spends a day? A _________ day for doctor like me starts around 6 a.m. My husband and I make lunches, and get our three daughters dressed, fed and through the daily _________ of teeth and hair brushing. We give them goodbye kisses and _________ get them out the door for preschool and elementary school. I’ll start seeing patients at 7:30 and _________ until two or 2:30 p.m., sometimes making a quick run to the _________. I rarely have time to eat or to drink a little cold coffee. I see 30 to 40 _________ a day.

These are people I can help now and keep out of the _________ room. After I finish seeing patients, I start being busy with __________ .

This part of the workload badly __________ female doctors. One research analyzing the time spent by doctors on electronic medical records __________ that, besides the patients during the day, female physicians receive about 25 per cent more messages from staff and patients, and have to spend at least 20 per cent more time __________ their inboxes and notes. After two or three hours of paperwork, I fit my family into my day. Then it’s back to the __________ at around 8 p.m. for another three to five hours. I know family doctors who are __________ until two or three in the morning or staying up to deal with paperwork.
