Why is everything always on fire?

It feels like almost every email, task, or sponsor communication is marked as urgent and needs to be completed by EOB.

Our priority is patient safety. I understand attention to detail, protocol adherence, and regulatory compliance are critical. As long as no patients are experiencing an emergency, this isn’t life or death.

As a CRC, everything’s always on fire. But at the end of the day, as long as the pts are safe, not everything needs to be blown up into a huge emergency.

Why is it like this?
