Doctor and technology!!!

How has technology changed your job?

I hardly use my pen. My pride and joy of possessing an ink pen is now inside my drawers. Never really learnt typing skills but this is my new documenting technique and keeping records upto date.

I look at computer screens more than thinking of passing the tissues or holding a patients hands. With Covid empathy has taken a turn.

We sign prescription electronically, no more paper scripts. Documents get signed off on the desktops.

Data is at hand of all the various targets we keep working on all year round. All sorts of monitoring and recalls work through our systems.

No more leaflets for patients. Get them to sign in on a QR code or simply text them the link in order to empower them.

NHS apps on mobiles gives people access to their health records and the information makes them take better decisions when they discuss the future course of action for their illnesses.

May be AI can actually do my job someday. These days I feel like a zombie sitting in front of the technology box. It has completely transformed my life as a doctor. I do love data and computers. It makes me happy to see the progress in the world of medicine.

  1. not anymore
    but newspapers
    that are digital are not anymore
    that was one job
    and the o operator is nixed
    so too 411
    ai is bullshit
    the further laziness of persons
    why rely on robots
    no thanks
    the young can have the world
    we know too much
    and still have little to no sympathy
    let alone empathy
