Thanks. I'll print this out and give it to some colleagues to read. Hospitals are going nuts over all those "guidelines" and stacks of "standing orders". Sometimes I spend more time trying to reconcile several of those pre-printed forms than I spend talking with the patient. And I'll still get a call from the Pharmacist about duplicate and overlapping orders etc. That's what I meant in my post a day or two back when I talked about the (stealthy?) push to computerize entire chunks of medical decision making. Would anyone here trust a computer program to manage all of their assets? I submit that a person's life and health are no less important.
