A little reminder!

Be present.

I’ve heard this before somewhere.

Repeatedly I think.

I just can’t remember where.

Roughly translated I think it means; “pay attention dummy, you might miss something”.

It’s easy to go through the motions and get “stuck.”

I like to think I don’t do this at work.

Sometimes, though, it’s just hard to stay plugged in—even after two coffees, two Rockstars, and a five hour energy. (Caffeine is good for you if you selectively read the research.)

We try our best not to have it happen, but sometimes a report doesn’t get faxed, an exercise prescribed, or ice pack dispensed.

Just like for you, there are a lot of ball’s juggling sometimes.

I suspect it’s the same way for most healthcare providers.

So, if it seems that this has occurred, don’t take it personally.

Just remind us.

And blame it on the front desk if you can.

That’s what I do.

Now, if I could just remember where I heard that before.
