The storage clipboard

The storage clipboard has changed my life. Well, it's at least improved my organizational skills in the hospital. When I didn't have any clipboard at all, my white coat was bursting at the seams with papers of various sorts (progress notes, blank order sheets, uptodate articles, etc...). I even had a system to help organize what went where: reference and educational materials in the right inside pocket, work-related papers in the left inside pocket.

Needless to say, this didn't work very well. I started using a folding clipboard that fits into my white coat pocket. That worked fine for a few weeks, but I got frustrated with it because any papers it was holding would get roughed up if I ever folded it. What's the point of a folding clipboard if I never fold it?
Thus, we arrive at the storage clipboard. I don't mean to get into the business of product endorsement, but this thing has revolutionized the the way I "practice" medicine. I'm going to honor my Internal Medicine clerkship for no other reason than that I have this storage clipboard.
