I think what a lot of people currently on the boards may not realize is that, although AC works for them, AC works no where nearly as wonderfully as it once did. Sometimes technology is necessary but, I for one, still like the feel and smell of a good book in my hand. Medicine is hard enough, running one's office is like running through the trenches, I really cannot afford the aggravation caused by all the little "irritating things" in my EMR. A surgeon for whom I worked back in the 70"s taught me something I have never forgotten..."Never put yourself at a disadvantage", e.g make sure you have all the instruments you may ever need, make sure the light is focused where it should be, make sure your incision is adequate for you to find the problem and make sure the people in the room with you know their jobs and listen to what you need from them. I cannot tell you how many times that phrase has kept me out of trouble.

"It's a good thing for a doctor to have prematurely grey hair and itching piles. It makes him appear to know more than he does and gives him an expression of concern which the patient interprets as being on his behalf. "
