Ahh, but the point is, I did not do especially good work, I did absolutely mediocre work, what I consider the bare minimum to justify calling myself a doctor. It is the fact that we know there are lots of providers out there that do so much worse in the name of "production" that is appalling. And, to whatever degree the EMR aids that sort of behavior, I feel it bears part of the blame.
