That is folking outrageous
Maybe they will afford DiFi and others in the Senate the same sort of treatment (would not hold my breath for that though, lol).
Move too ‘America’, Doc. You’ll be appreciated.
I am sympathetic to this physician, because electronic medical records are geared for the most part towards large hospitals, and as such are very expensive and complicated. But regulations have made it nearly impossible to comply with them without the help of computerized systems.
Sigh.
OTOH, I love a good story about a physician working in their mid-eighties, but the reality is...that is almost always far, far past the point where most can give appropriate care. Not in all cases, but in most of them.
I know. I have worked with physician populations, and there are some who simply won’t retire. They enjoy what they do, or wouldn’t know what else to do with themselves, but their performance can become spotty. Not what you want with patient care.
I also don’t doubt the regional hospital systems want her patients, but...how many could she be seeing? If that is the case, some hospital bureaucrat has too much time on their hands.
Also, if regulators found discrepancies, I wouldn’t doubt it. Without some kind of EMR, in today’s medical environment, you would have to be some kind of exceptional genius to not run afoul of the requirements.
I am sympathetic, though.
Probably washed her hands.
