Everyone deserves a break at one point or another, and doctors are no exception. But while the whole point of going on vacation is to unwind and relieve stress, many medical practitioners find themselves facing this or that situation, spoiling their holiday and leaving them even more worked up afterwards. So if you want to avoid these pitfalls, then best follow the rules laid out below.
Let Someone Else Plan
Most people (medical practitioners included) love going D-I-Y mode when it comes to vacation plans and itineraries. But if you want to maximize your much-deserved holiday, it would be better if you just let someone else make the plans. Either you leave it with someone who’ll go with you on your escapade, or you ask help from a travel agent.
Suggest an Underrated Destination
If you’re okay navigating in and around large groups of people, then you’re going to do fine in popular and prime tourist spots. But if you’re the type of doctor who doesn’t like being around large crowds and waiting in long lines, then best go for a tourist destination that’s a little bit off the radar.
Don’t Pack Too Much
Pack lightly for your holiday. Doing so will not only fee you of the trouble of having to carry excess baggage, but it will also save you your hard-earned doctor’s money. Plus, it takes you off the radar of people who might want to take your stuff and money from you. So for starters, the best way to lessen your load is to make a list and stick with it.
Be in Sync with Your Companions
Going on a solo vacation may be easy, but a holiday with companions is quite another story. If you’re going for the latter, it’s best if you and your companions are in sync with each other. That way, you’ll be able to enjoy each other’s company, and there won’t be any conflict regarding which place to visit or what activity to do first.
Unplug Yourself
Lastly, disconnect yourself from your work and your electronic devices for the duration of your vacation. Leave your medical startup and patients with another medical practitioner who can cover for you. And only open your phone or laptop for emergency calls and emails. That way, you can maximize your holiday.
Follow These Rules
Going on vacation can be stressing for doctors if not taken seriously. By following the rules listed above, however, you’ll be able to maximize your holiday and get that relaxation and relief you surely need.
