A Day After being on call dealing with the electronic health record
Bleeping like neon
screens off and on
melancholy of the viewer
glory of IT
Electronic health record
now online
like the Terminator series
humanity heading
towards point of no return
Logged on
all the organs and vital functions
in full view
to peruse
functional status
Let's not forget
metabolic indices
circulatory parameters
and those reminders
and warnings
uggh
The house doctor
with the paternal smile
and bag of tricks
thing of the past
That was only
when men
walked on the moon
Now we walk in cyberspace
where all is revealed
yet all is concealed
