One of the things I really like and that is pretty different than my outpatient job. I get almost no face time, whereas here in the hospital, I am seeing the physicians face-to-face almost every single day. I eat lunch with my co-workers who are speech-language pathologists and are occupational therapists, and we're constantly communicating and having a dialogue about our patients, what's working well, what's not working well.
