I could tell two kind of users in the forum. Many just like to read one a while and ignore tech talk, over their heads and I am one of them. Many like to help and their expertise quite amazed me and the forum would get so bored without them.
In my class I kept telling that I am more a practical person than an academic or a thinker. On some larger IT projects, million dollars mean nothing. At one time, the complexity of keeping 5 thousand plus data table, in mainframes or mid size computers, in sync became too much too handle, higher level management decided to drop the project. Other time, the cost of linking too many systems from company merging got out of hand and again higher bosses decided to drop, small changes. Docs and admin/IT staff almost have no say in real world but overburdened by alien force. I copied the word form our tech talk post.
I could not recall that I am telling in my post before, I don't like the word blog Bert gave it to my post that much, might be 'junk talks' a better name, since I am not a writer and not good at it, skipped most of my literature classes, felt asleep in Shakespeare, but was able to stay overnight to punch computer cards, remember those, about my IT friend who telling me about his saving of million dollars, in high end IT, we were making as much money as docs! On that one project, he collapsed on a side walk on his way back from client site to the hotel and died of heart attack. Young guy still in his early 50, common news now a day those.
I also mentioned about my doc out of her frustration saying that she is like a dumpster. One patient came last week, looking very healthy telling that she just need a yearly PE. Then a couple day later went back for a second visit show her health ID with my doc name as her pcp and asked for her disability form to fill in because of leg pain..... Docs in the forum know about those forms now a day, such a pain in..... primary care docs ranked bottom of the income list, even their income much higher than average, in my opinion it is not worth it to waste your life away to be a primary doc if you don't try to balance your life, AC addiction included. Haha AC is best for solo docs, easy to use, amazingly stable, don't blame AC if your e prescribe is slow sometimes, internet is not that ready for second generation yet. I did make joke about big boss Jon but his love for AC unquestionable.
Another trick for anyone doesn't want to invest big bugs on hardware and keep things simple. Dell selling refurbished super compact desktops, Core 2 3GHz, high end 3, 4 years ago with Vista Business for 100.00 on ebay. I think some of docs out there can buy 4 of them for 500.00 and you set for another 3 years. Win 7 based on Vista coding framework, and later Vista with update is almost same as Win 7. I bought twos and loved it. Ready to run with nothing on except OS, download AC and some free antivirus and you ready to go. I am a different person now, something simple and works is perfectly ok for me. Older piece hardware been time tested, I still had couple of them, refused to die after more than 10 years. Sound familiar, am I an older hardware piece too? no wonder the attachment.
