This is, sadly, true. We’re also the only industry left that still widely uses pagers.https://twitter.com/AlanLevinovitz/status/1349126226774994944 …

The pager I carry 24/7 (shown next to my Apple Watch for size comparison) is basically the same as the one I carried over 20 years ago. Same size, same design. I expect to be carrying it until the day I retire. That’s how far behind the technological times medicine is here.pic.twitter.com/xqsc8yI5JS

How many docs out there, I wonder, still carry this pager or one with the same design?

Replying to @gorskon
We have the option to carry one, but I switched to a pager app on my iPhone when it became available. I don't miss my pager. In fact, my patients used to tease me about my "1980s tech"

We just got PerfectServe at my cancer center, but this doesn’t help much because the other main hospital I’m based at still uses pagers.
