Health

The "Medical System" I use - this is a term for the conglomeration of multiple practices, small hospitals, etc. - uses the Cerner health records system. Like everything that Oracle/Ellison touch, it is horrible. My cardiologist (and the whole department) and my oncologist all refuse to use the portal. From what I understand the interface is even worse on the provider side.

I do like the EHR that Labcorp uses for my blood work. Results come back within 24 hours with lots of helpful information and graphs, etc.

I miss the old days when my hometown doctor would handle 80-90% of the problems and only refer to a specialist for 10-20%. Now, the PCP is just a clerk handling "prior approvals" or the annual Medicare check-up.
