I was just wondering being a solo doc myself. When I go on vacation, I send my patients to other covering doctors and I will check in by internet, my messages and fax inbox.

Downside of this is I have to check in and never get a chance to go on vacation without thinking about the office.

I was thinking of doing the locum tenens route. At least they can check the labs and do the messages. This way I can take longer vacations and not worry about the office while I am gone.


What does everyone else do when they want to go on vacation?
