This is a rather personal writing not too much exciting but gives the reader a little insight.
What is Monday ?
Monday Hair
What is Monday? It is the start of the week after Sunday, family day. As a plastic surgeon who also CEO of a web development firm and one who trains in a the sport of Muay Thai almost everyday my time is limited. Thus, I usually divide my day up in sections, of what to get accomplished. Each day of the week I have also designated for particular things to get done. Monday is revision surgery and small cases with staff a meeting, tuesday is big case day , Sunday is family day and so on……. Let me dissect Mondays for you to see if you find it interesting. Monday I am up at 5 or 6 am as most days and I go to computer, check emails. look at schedule and fool around with my three dogs. Samantha is my oldest dog who is 12 years old and needs the most attention. I try to do stretching every morning although when I am training hard I go to the gym. So after taking care of Dogs , computer work , planning some things I go to pick up one of my employees on the way to work before 8 am. We discuss our web business , google news, SEO stuff , our clients etc. I get to office and my nurse will have the first patient ready along with my operating assistant. I check the patient and do what ever was required. Today for example we did a scar revision, a liposuction touch up and lower lid blepharoplasty ( lower eye lid surgery). Everything went smoothly this morning as usual. After 20 years of doing this stuff, it better go smoothly one would think and it does. Then the fun starts–the mandatory staff meeting at lunch. This occurs every monday and even though its mandatory I spend an inordinate amount of time being irritated because certain people dont feel the same way I do about it. Yet with legitamate excuses what can I say. Every monday we go through the same thing….where is so and so. “Dont you recall Doctor she has school or her child is sick or bla bla bla”. Anyway that is always an irritation. So Monday is irritation time at least for few minutes, regular, steadfast and like clockwork every monday i get irritated at the start of the staff meeting.
The dreaded staff meeting.
Some Staff
Next we have our staff meeting, we review new patient statistics, we talk about supplies which are needed and not in yet, we discuss any issues at hand and finally we review how to make things better for our patients, staff and all concerned. The staff meeting usually ends around 1 pm and the rest of the day is spent seeing a few patients and taking care of the important things that cant wait. I try usually unsuccessfully to take Monday afternoon off. Today for example I left at 3:30 pm which is early for me. If I am lucky as I was today I can make it to Muay Thai training on time 5pm or so. I train for minamum two hours and by then its usually 8pm. I travel home , say hello to my other half who inevitably makes a nasty comment about how I am getting too old and will hurt myself about full contact Muay thai. Its hard to argue with the truth, but I pretend to even though she is probally right I don want to admit that I am getting older and few people my age do such a sport. I take a shower and then head to the computer again getting my web work done. Oh I usually don’t eat much after training, but a small meal and plenty of fluids. After this I checked some search terms on google analystics tonight, answered some emails and then worked on my latest web site. Monday is never that exciting and I am glad really. I work on the internet to about midnight and then off to sleep. When I look at this I think I am rather simple guy. Not exactly 9-5 but kinda, as my internet work is play as much as it is work. I enjoy it that much designing , content writing and even thinking how I can take over the internet world of plastic surgery web site design and marketing……
Oh I forgot to tell you I always try to listen to my Japanese language disk to and from work and Muay Thai. I have listened to them so many times that I am sure I speak like a japanese female as opposed to a male since the voice is female on the disk.
Future Monday?
Future of Monday
I think in a few years I will change my Monday’s I look forward to that. Yet after many years of these Monday routines I may become confused or something. How is your Monday dear reader ?
Since no one else will comment I will. This is really good !
