I feel like I'm drowning in minutia (sp?) and yet I'm spending time reading blogs instead of catching up on my paperwork. Hmm, procrastination; wasn't that your topic yesterday? Maybe I'll write my blog now; that'll take at least another 30 minutes!! :)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691293013547048119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-12189656400367976982008-09-23T13:27:00.000-04:002008-09-23T13:27:00.000-04:00This is very disturbing to me, why, because it wor...This is very disturbing to me, why, because it worries me that once we are assigned a number for everything (well I guess we already are - SS#)...that the next step will be to implant us with a capsule that will hold all our info on it, regarding everything, every purchase, every illness, etc., and ....oh I just can't go there..gotta stop...sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307968128182359860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-79628664638679453172008-09-23T12:02:00.001-04:002008-09-23T12:02:00.001-04:00and laurie,you aren't the only one who thinks to c...and laurie,<BR/>you aren't the only one who thinks to check their email.

We're all electronic in our hospital and it's absolutely a mixed bag. <BR/><BR/>My personal favorite, in regards to your Terms of Endearment clip, is the med pyxis. When I do have someone going all Shirley McClaine on me for a pain med, or when someone has a heart rate of 20, why, oh why is that when the cart won't let me take the med until I count them all? <BR/><BR/>Do I have to count Zofran? Of course not. But those pesky circling the drain meds?

There is even a computer information area, that sounds similar to the airport screens where you look for flights arriving and departing. Well, not that big, but still. I may go check this out one day if I have time, because I am curious. Do you have to stand in line to view the computer that has the information about what room a patient is in. Kinda Weird. Also, what happens to all of the info when the computer crashes. They have to spend a lot of time backing up all the files on another external drive? I went one time to a Dr. who carried his lap top in the room with him and not much else. His nurses did too. I think the prescription he gave me was also a print out from his laptop. Does that all sound possible or did I dream this? I recognized the nurse picture from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Very Cleaver!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373560689980768576noreply@blogger.com
