As an ER doctor THAT is a funny answer.
We get mandated to have all kinds of bullsh#t on the electronic medical record. The doctors that like this type of political contamination of medicine are the ones that want to work 20 hours a week and get paid $500,000.00/year. I have known physicians that wanted a "union" and some that thought Obamacare is and was a great idea.
Don't believe that the AMA or any organization speaks for the front line doctors. In my group of 32 physicians I can pretty much say upon direct visualization that 30 of them have weapons and the other two just might be sneaky. As far as carrying....well 100% of them are sneaky.
Hey, I’d like to join your group. Except I’m a hospitalist. Oh well....
I have a conversation with an urban pediatrician—he is happy about all the incentives that Obama has given his physician group and they are so thrilled they are building a new facility. I asked him what will happen to that money in the future? No idea. He wanted to discuss benefit plans—why?—to reduce his taxes.
I frequently get information from another pediatrician about the wonderfulness of Obama, leftist policies like min wage increases, other craziness. The pediatricians seem to be the worst when it comes to leftist idiocy. Even more galling is that both these physicians are immigrants from an impoverished third-world socialist country. To them, it is the government being generous and helping people. They see no connection between this kind of idiocy and the poverty that dominates much of the world.
Right. Once it is in there it never goes away. It will follow you to the grave and beyond. That includes conversations and general personal impressions (both physical and psychological) by the doctor as well as stats and treatments. A lot of it you won't even be aware of can be in there.
Now nameless and faceless government bureaucrats have access to all of your information. The big questions are, how will they use it and what will they do with it?
