@Bert-LOL about the med student! Also that setup sounds great except we might not have room for it, but I'll show Doc and the manager and see what can be done. The problem is that everything is desktop based except for the two laptops doctor takes into the rooms, so even during a surge or something they're okay. It's mainly the server I'm freaked about--that goes down and we're screwed. We're going to be moving the server to a different room so that might help instiagate a new set-up...
@Dr G-that sounds good too. I like the laptop idea (I had voted for this originally as it would take up less space and be portable). How do you keep your patients from playing with the computers? We can't get them to keep their kids out of the biohazard lock boxes (honestly, there are needles in there! Watch your children!) so there was a concern that they'd play with our equipment and break it. Did you used to have towers in there before the laptops?
