Back in the Office

Hello to all 4 people reading this blog (hi Mom!). It’s been a busy few weeks, and I have spent them setting up ways to keep my clinical skills sharp. I renewed my NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) and PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) certifications and scheduled myself at a bunch of pediatric offices who need a “substitute doctor” as I plan to introduce myself to families. Tomorrow, I pick up my first shift as a Locum Tenens physician in the Denver metro area. I spent part of this evening precharting. Precharting (where I spend my free time on the electronic health record reading about patients from home because I have no work-life balance) allows me to feel as prepared as possible to give the highest quality care that I can to my patients and their families. I am excited to get back in the clinic and provide medical care for children. If you care, you can find where I will be on the “Where to Find Me” page on this website. I don’t expect people to chase me around various clinics, but want that information to be available to my patients if it’s of any use. I hope my time seeing various practices as Locum Tenens physician will allow me to find an office where I can provide the highest quality care possible in a way that’s aligned with how I want to practice medicine. It’s a lofty goal, but I believe an attainable one. Please feel free to follow along with me on this journey. Who knows where it will take us. If you are along for the ride, I apologize in advance for the poorly worded stream of consciousness. I’ve never considered myself much of a writer.

Cheers,

Dr. Jack Szigety, MD aka Dr. Spaghetti
