computerized medical records and healthcare

[Guest guest]

Ontario tried to computerize medical records and I don't know how many

billions were wasted on a terrible start. The head of the dept. was

fired and everyone just shook their heads and vowed to begin yet

again. Another stupid mistake in the provision of healthcare in

Ontario, Canada.

I wish we had physician assistants here. I could avoid my GP 99% of

the time.

Two good good things about our terrible system: 1) is it's so

difficult to get treated and you have to wait so long that some things

heal themselves while you're waiting

2) you try extra hard to stay well because you know you're going to

have to go through hell if you do get something serious.

Our healthcare may be free but it sure doesn't do what it should.
