Are multitasking hospitalists dangerous to your care? I don't think so. When I'm not at home doing my father son workout for my L5-S1 radicular back pain, I'm at the hospital doing my physical therapy hamstring stretching exercises while I manage severe sepsis with shock and multiorgan failure by phone. If you want to be a great hospitalist, you have to learn to multitask or you're never going to make it in this field.
I hope the Joint Commission doesn't see this. They may create a new policy that all hospitalists need to take a shower, in the nude, before rounding, so we aren't contaminating our patients with nastiness when we sit on their beds to provide AIDET driven customer service.
Ok. Maybe we are dangerous. At least we'll get good satisfaction scores. And that's what matters most.

Hospitalist multitasking protocols: Trading great patient satisfaction scores for life threatening infectious disease outbreaks one patient at a time.
By the way, those are the best hospital socks ever made.
