I sometimes wonder why we even bothered to micro-engrave the isntructions on that grain of rice we put in the Airport right next to the Generic Tschotschkes Shop. :sheesh:

hey now, i *tried* to consult it just two weeks from now, but they are only open from 7am to 7:08am !! and all civilised people are asleep at that time, as i'm sure you know.

So, I may be absent for lengthy periods of time. Sorry.

You, a "super user"? But I thought you were an L user.

When they need help can't you just say, "How do -you- think you should use it?" and then when they describe the result ask them how it makes them feel, then charge them $300?

I'm still recovering from the bruises from that last time I tried it that way. pshrynks can be a testy lot.

I've spent my whole working life writing Hospital Information Systems. The Hospital administrators often cut off Physician's privileges if they got too far behind in keeping their medical records up-to-date. An electronic medical records system is *supposed* to make it easier for docs to keep their records up-to-date, but alas, it is only easier if accepted and used.

Getting some people to move from paper to electronic can be difficult, can it not?

WDE.

Oh, don't get me started...

May God have mercy on your soul.

For the past 10 yrs, we have been using EMR.
For the past 2 yrs, we have been working toward paperless.

I've been the leader on the paperless initiative. It's made me surly, because I have to force people to think differently about how they handle documents, and nobody likes to have to think differently.

"What should I do about this?" is the most hated question in my life.
"Scan it to EMR and shred it," is ALWAYS the answer. I need to record that and just hit a button that plays it whenever somebody looks confused.

Is that what happened to two of your teeth, then?

Right now, I'm entering all my favorites for medications into the server and it's a six step process. There are pshrynks in the department who haven't touched a computer since they were hired other than to play solitaire when someone no-shows.

Why do I have the mental image of someone getting the DVD tray to open, placing a few pills into it, closing it, and repeating the process until all the pills are used? I'm slightly nervous about the state of the server after all that medication.

Unlike some who haven't touched a computer except to post on MR when someone no-shows?

I was more worried that pshrynk was actually referring to favorite medications for his own personal/recreational use...
