Notes on life, philosophy, and medicine

You carried me through  My small newborn body wrapped in your arms You must have smiled knowing  I was flesh of your flesh  Creation  Creator You may not have known always what it meant to be my ba But in your quiet ways  You carried me A home I always had because of you A safe place  Full of anguished love  Because of its depth  You left this earth but never without considering  How you would leave us cared for  You shed tears unseen  You wore the wrinkles of stress on your forehead And always it was for us  Your precious children Your little babies  How grateful am I to have been yours. Father,  Because of you, I could shine. How I wish I could relive those moments when you first held me When you first saw me and knew I was yours  May your days right now be as sweet as my memories  May you carry on that smile and heavy lightness that gave me wings Wishing you well daddy and hope your journey in life after is treating you well. 

How does one keep the best primary care note, we can copy and paste and transfer historical information from one to the next. We can update problem lists with care plans. We can addend the previous care note to reflect upcoming plans to not miss all the possible things we can miss.  My desire is to create a note that reflects the complexity of our patients, the stories that are interwoven and the dynamic changes that move in and out of their health story.  I wish to do that and to do it well. May our patients know that we know them so that our health care is not just limited to one problem.  May we as the stewards of health/family medicine doctors in partnership with our patients create thriving and fulfilling lives that bring together a community.
