All his notes are on paper. My folder is very thick. I am skeptical (but then I usually am anyway.<br /><br />I left one specialist who was so glued to her computer screen she never made eye contact. She became upset when I insisted she at me, not the screen.<br /><br />I left another specialist because he claimed his records were all lost in some kind of computer crash. Since he had no file for me, even though he had been treating me for a few years, he treated me like a new patient and I had to remind him of what he did in the past. I thought he was incompetent and / or doing something illegal. So I left. I now wonder if burnt out had anything to do with this. As I said, I envisioned other scenarios. Still, as far as my health was concerned this was unacceptable. (Where were the backups, the paper printouts? the response was "Huh? I guess his lawyer said 'Admit no wrong doing.")<br /><br />Funny thing is many jobs' paperwork have increased dramatically as well. The reasons are mixed. The unacceptable problems arises when management (government agencies and / or insurance companies) willfully turns a blind eye to the increased time and effort and expects the same or more work plus the paperwork for the same compensation.<br /><br />As far as work goes, I just as soon have a video recording done and then let an AI distill the video into notes, than spend 30% of my time documenting my activities. Otherwise get me a secretary to record the notes and get the secretary a secretary to record the noting taking, etc.<br /><br />Andy Shizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215297395548845513noreply@blogger.com
