I'm embarrassed to admit how often this has almost happened.... Steven Mussey, M.D.
Yeah, it sucks to be an MD these days, especially a GP / Family doc. and sometimes a patient, too. EMR was a good concept being implemented poorly. (I’ve been in the ER at 1:00 a.m. with a parent and wondering how, if and when they would get info on current treatment from a plethora of other docs). Gee, never heard of that before. Last visit with my GP of 30 years was consumed by his tapping on tablet. Visit with my neurologist was not as bad but my time lost to tapping and searching. visit with my urologist and NO tablet or laptop. I complimented him and he replied that he and his practice found that they interfered with patient visit. Did not have time to ask what they were doing.
Query: what happened to the medical transcriptionists who I used to see creating the paper record from the dictated notes ? Some have found a way to manage.
