Our long time family physician, who had many loyal
patients, took early retirement because he did not want to be required to use the electronic media. What a loss
to hundreds of his patients. He was a doctor who would
call his patients in the late afternoon, early evening to see how they were doing, go over test results and so forth.
Technology is NEVER a substitute for good management although many would like to think so...............
What a sad story. I’ve read similar over the past year, it’s happening all across America. Obama truly has destroyed what once was the world’s most excellent medical system. Obamacare will drive it into 3rd world crap, like communist Russia & Cuba.
Yes, I lost my doctor who was like that too. When I visited the new doctor, I apologized for forgetting to list dosages with the meds and vitamins I take. She said, “no problem, I can pull it up on the computer.” and she did. I was stunned because when I asked how she got that, she said through the hospital she affiliated with, a hospital I have never been to nor have I seen any other doctors affiliated with that hospital. The ihfo is already out there and being swapped around. What happened to patient privacy?
