I had a great experience shadowing Dr. Cindy Dorsey at the OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital earlier this year. I was able to ask her a few questions to gain a better understanding of what her daily work routine entails. Dr. Dorsey’s favorite part of the day involves patient interaction. She not only visits patients in the hospital but also provides primary care routine check ups. She also had great relations with her physician assistants and nursing staff who all work together as a team to provide patients with the best care possible. Dr. Dorsey’s least favorite part about her job is all of the paper work and documentation involved because it takes away time from patient interaction. She showed me how she uses a dictation device that types her spoken word which speeds up the process some. I was also able to learn more about the board exams physicians must take to stay current in their field because Dr. Dorsey was studying for one at the time. Overall, by asking Dr. Dorsey a few short questions I learned that medicine is a field for passionate individuals that wish to help others despite the studying and paperwork that can sometimes be tedious.
