@Atul_Gawande Interesting when non-people get glimpse of norms in med. Yes folks. He said page. Bet the bank on the fax too. BEEEEP! -
.
@richolexa Paging goes to smartphone and let's MD sign out coverage to others unlike phone. MDs get 1100 fax/mo tho. That's Stone Age. -
@Atul_Gawande Text pages? -
@Atul_Gawande That sounds like a perfect solution for basic q's: secure and direct to MD.

@Atul_Gawande Unfortunately, so far, I have found E-Medicine to be FREE-Medicine. Patients/friends/ etc. coming at me every possible e-way -
@drnickUSA@atul_gawande it's only "free" if you have a fee-for-service model. Otherwise it's part of doing business / being human. - 1 more reply
