Now here’s the best of what YOU had to say.
- A doctor’s review of rounds with an iPad: Part I and Part II. “In general it was incredibly useful and given that all of our clinical apps are web based it basically all worked perfectly. Probably the most useful was rounding (or the nurse snagging you as you walked by) and during a trigger where I could stay at the bedside and do/see everything and not leave my critically ill patient.”
- Doctors’ roles in torture at Guantanamo. “We have government employed doctors who conducted illegal, immoral experiments on human subjects, not for some greater good, mind you, but to provide a sham scientific cover for the inhumane torture and abuse of completely subjugated prisoners.”
- Pharmacist or doctor? Who knows more about drugs? “At the heart of the sketch there’s a sage observation: pharmacists are very knowledgeable about drugs. Much more so than many doctors. And doctors sometimes prescribe drugs without considering the full range of options and almost always without sharing that thought process with the patient (or caregiver).”
- GE puts electronic medical records into the cloud. “Using their own secure password, patients can log in from anywhere to schedule their appointments, request prescription refills or access billing statements, lab results and private messages from their clinicians,according to GE Healthcare.”
