I think that goes for all health professionals. I had a month long hospital stay in 1990, my kidneys went haywire, they didn't know what was going on. I was in a semi private room, my roommate only came in at evenings to receive his IV antibiotics for a heart infection. One morning after he left a nurse came in and insisted I take these pills in a cup. I said no. It did not look like my meds they were normally feeding me. I said these can't be mine I don't know what they are for. She left and came back about 20 minutes later and apologized as they were heart meds for my roommate, she said she felt very bad about that mistake. I am glad I didn't take her orders.

because it is billing time.. when they review your file you are on their bill clock... now with pc in room you get your stuff updated online vs some data entry person doing in the back ground later.. and yup... you are being billed at doctor rate to enter data in a pc. progress? for hospitals, yes. for patients, no, higher bills. i had one doctor spend more time on entering basic information on pc with two fingers than my total exam.. i really pissed watching this guy entered data at maybe $400hr. charge.
