About 10% of my week, I live down a microscope (x5 magnification trying to put implants into the right position and put stitches in the right place).
About 20% of my week is me meeting people who I’ve never met before (or only very briefly) to discuss solutions to problems.
A small percentage of my week is me trying to help other people clinically and about 10% of my week is teaching other people (by that I mean sharing all the mistakes that I’ve made and how to try to avoid making them yourself).
About 30% of the week, I spend talking to other people either about things that are happening here or things that might happen here or how to help them with things that are happening there.
Another reasonable percentage is spent constructing plans for patients that I’ve already met and electronically transferring those to information that they can read or digest to help them make a decision.
The skills that are required in my working week are massively varied and although it would be possible for me now to jack it all in and just do 4 days a week down the microscope or jack in the microscope and just do 4 days a week on the meetings. I think that is probably the life accrued by the spectrum thinker.
I am the opposite of that, and I need the variation and probably when the variation is done, I will be done.
