You know you’re in clinical practice when your scariest nightmares involve paperwork, not patients

It’s not the cardiac arrest that keeps you up at night.It’s the discharge summary you forgot to sign.The one medication you didn’t document.The one lab order that slipped through the cracks. Because nothing will haunt you like:
“Who wrote this illegible note?”
“Where’s the consent form?”
“Why was this patient sent home without ABG?”Turns out, the true villain isn’t disease.It’s documentation.
