RANDOM THOUGHT: Why not send Barack Obama to Charleston SC and have him tell the seas to 'stop rising'? After all, wasn't that what he promised when he was first inaugurated in 2008?

REMEMBERING

the 17th anniversary of 9/11.

OBAMACARE REQUIREMENT blamed for doctor burnout.

I'm inclined to believe the report - especially for older doctors. My doctor in Virginia was older, and vociferous in his distaste of ObamaCare's electronic health record requirement. I wouldn't be the least bit to surprised to find he's retired. My current doctor here in Georgia is much younger, and more used to computers. She is more comfortable with computerized health records and was more sanguine about them - until this:

There are serious dangers lurking behind the government’s $30 billion electronic health record (EHR) experiment. This omnipresent technology turns doctors into data clerks and shifts attention from patients to paperwork -- while health plans, government agencies, and the health data industry profit. Patients who think the HIPAA ”privacy” rule protects the confidentiality of their medical information will be shocked to discover it makes their medical records an open book [emphasis added].

She was really surprised to find out how little patient 'privacy' her patients actually have. I suspect she'll soon be rethinking her infatuation with electronic health records.
