this is why american medical care is so expensive. Family’s and Law make doctors “do everything” even when the doctors know there is 0.01% chance such a person even makes it out of the icu and that’s not saying anything about brain function.

whoever owns them.

yes. many different strains and even if your body clears infection with one doesn’t protect against other strains

that post gives similar feelings as the song Caledonia by Dougie MacLean

The information blocking rule requires that all test, notes, and labs are shared by default as soon as they result with few exceptions.

I'd be shocked if this was anywhere near reality. Covid hasn't been an issue any of the hospitals that I work at to the point that many doctors and nurses don't even bother with N95 masks when seeing covid patients.

It's more likely this is people dying with covid and not from covid. If someone covid positive has a stroke or heart attack which column is that being written in?

I have had to write my share of death certificates, and most docs will write the easiest thing that gets the corner off their back. These statistics may be broadly true

medicine is unlike technology in that it has a much much higher level of human error in data points (intentional or not).

leeches are still in use…

Where are you getting this 4000 hrs number from?

I’m a MD and this isn’t even remotely correct and the number seems to be pulled out of thin air. Comparing a 2 year PA program with a 4 year MD program plus mandatory 2-7 year additional training is extremely disingenuous.

It would make logical sense for it to function like that, but go ahead and test your theory. You will quickly find most places happily continue service for a while while sending bills and threatening collections. This is especially true of those services that are difficult to cancel.

At my hospital the nursing UI of Epic is absolutely horrid. It's cluttered and confusing with multiple places to document everything.

Epic is completely customizable, but the people who make the decisions in nursing management aren't always the same people using the software. That and funding to make the changes.

If you want to see really bad software take a look at Meditech it defaults 800x600 (!), and doesn't resize well at all.
