Like Anton, except for being in a 3 photographer, 2 location practice, the
patient & procedure load kept increasing.
IF equipment were to never go down, and nobody was sick or on holiday, and
there were no OR cases, publication images, or drug studies, and no lunchs to
be eaten, nor potty needs, then all was good.
Days with 2 photographers could keep up with 100+ procedures. Days with one
photographer and 85+ procedures and 10 hour days were not uncommon.
There is an expression about abusing race horses: "Run hard and put up wet."
There is a point where not only photographers are abused, but patients receive
sub-par studies.
How to address this balance of appropriate staffing could be a topic for OPS
meetings.
Thank you,
Marshall
