A typical day

Unlock the clinic, check the phone messages, print the day's schedule. Then a steady stream: check patients in, answer the phone, book appointments, take payments for forms and notes, scan results into charts, fax referrals and chase the ones that never came back. At the end of the day, submit the doctor's billing to the province. Some days you are also the person calming a scared or angry patient.
