Keepin Corellia Weird
Since I know there are more than a few of us in healthcare here, I thought i'd share this gem... Whether you call it EHR, EPCR, HardCard or whatever, anyone in HealthCare knows the AMAZING world that encompasses patient care reports... And thus, I bring you this masterpiece by ZDoggMD...

For those of you not in healthcare, imagine that for every patient you must document EVERYTHING you do, because if not someone will sue... Now imagine someone thought of the brilliant idea to make that 'easier' on you by having it managed by a technology, like a computer program. Except the program was designed by Jar Jar Binks while on a Nar Shaddian bender with a couple of Ewok girls. Thus, you will have an approximation of the horror we as healthcare providers experience for every.... single.... patient...
Even on a Code 1 Emergency on an ambulance called I have two entries to fill out just to give a patient Oxygen. Both cover virtually the exact same things, excepting one has fields for who authorized the procedure. And given it's up to our discretion, that field is literally absolutely superfluous... And after those two entries are done, (with 5-10 fields each to fill out) I then have to document that EXACT SAME DATA in my Narrative/Written Report attached to the overall report, or else it's not legal/valid. Yes, there are some nights I contemplate launching the EPCR laptop out the back of the ambulance while riding down the freeway.
