How do you see patients hastily?
As of now it takes me 3 hours to do an admission H and P, and I return three or four times to ask question I forgot. I am beginning to think it is hopeless for me to ever be able to hold on intern responsibilities.
How do they see patients so quickly and get all the pertinent information? It's resembling Santa Claus reaching all the houses in one night -- impossible lacking magic.

It will take practice. Once you own an idea of what to ask depending on the presenting symptoms things will speed up for you. Try to always do things in an orderly trend so you don't leave anything out. Good luck! Source(s): PA in surgical critical care
You're not a Hospitalist, are you? (Oh wait a minute. you said you're an intern.)
Are others taking as long as you are? I see tons the (new) interns go through this. In time, you will pick up your pace.
A fellow said, "just do what everyone else is doing." and I guess that should apply to you, too.
p.s. Make a sheet of the question you need to ask so you won't forget. In time, you'll thank yourself for not skipping anything. Source(s): Am an old nurse.
Experience, when I was in medical conservatory I would take hours to do an admission, now I can look up the relevant information on a forgiving, get available labs and test results, do the history and exam, write the orders, and do adjectives the documentation including dictating a full history and physical in less than an hour.
Internship will force you to be more efficient, it's highly good for that.
Oh, and experienced doctors don't get all the information, they find the information that is important and dictates treatment; they are just better at decide which information is relevant and restricting the questions they ask, and better at guiding patients when necessary, you get these skills beside time. Until then, ask all the question you suggest are necessary, it's better to take longer and not miss important information than to rush through and winding up up missing vital things which would change the treatment.
Efficiency will come near practice.
