you are lucky then!

I just said the doctors office (primary care) that i go to for my care the doctors do not dictate, they use forms on the computer (cutting out the MT). My hospital is now doing this same thing, trying to cut the middle man.

Not everyone is going to do it, but some are going to see if they have to be computerized anyways under law ... why NOT cut out more work than necessary?

hey i pray not but ... we will see. and i hate the waiting game!
