How awful and completely unacceptable!!! Ahh...I can't believe my country still does this.

Quoted: U.S. physicians need to catch up with other industrialized nations -- such as Australia, Great Britain, the Netherlands and New Zealand -- in adopting electronic health records to enhance medical care and reduce costs.
If this country does not accelerate the conversion from paper to electronic health records, many health care reform promises will become irrelevant.
