Why rheumatology, and why this clinic in particular?

Situational

Walk me through how you would triage a call from a patient reporting a fever and joint swelling while on a biologic medication like a TNF inhibitor.

A patient calls upset because their infusion appointment was delayed and they are in significant pain. How do you handle that conversation?

How do you organize your day when you're juggling patient calls, chart prep for the provider, and in-clinic visits all at once?
