42

The answer to life, the universe, and everything

Using the Charity Engine computer cluster, Andrew Sutherland of MIT and Andrew Booker of Bristol University solved the famous Diophantine Equation mathematics puzzle for the number 42. That is, are there three cubes whose sum is 42?

1 clinic day a week, 3.5 procedures, the other half is either procedure or clinic based on need

Newbies are maybe 3-5. I see established patients for lumbar one day, cervical another, shoulder, hip...I also do procedures and clinic same day so there just isn't time to fit in many more people than that.

I have 6 new pt slots, 4 days a week. All my days are mixed procedure/pt visits except Fridays which are procedure only days…

We don't see new patients by ourselves in my group. NP does the lions share of the H&P, then they contact us to staff it. One of the docs doing procedures will come over, see the patient with the NP, do focused exam, and come up with plan. NP finishes the note/paperwork. NP gets a 30 minute slot for new patients, doc does it extra to their own schedule. Number of new patients per day seen varies by number of NPs, docs in the office, and the fates.

Edit: Sometimes when our new patient queue is too long, the doc will do a day of just new patients themselves. Those days we'll see 13ish.
