During a medical checkup, I got thinking about the technology and computer systems that the medical field uses.   Seeing as how I am not in this field professionally, I can only observe and wonder as to the technologies used.  What got me thinking about this, is listening to the receptionist at my doctors office typing away.

This got me thinking about what kind of equipment they use.  Receptionist computers, doctors personal computers, nurses workstations, and a central office database perhaps?  Then, add into that fact, that my doctor’s office had their own lab… an EKG unit, X-Ray machine, blood testing, etc.  In what way, if any, are they interconnected?  What safety procedures and what requirements are there for safeguarding confidential and personally identifiable information pertaining to health records and other data?  These things come to mind, though since I’m in the hosting/web development sector, medical technology is far from my specialty.  I may look into this further, for curiosity sake.

Welcome to one of my many little spots on the web.   My goal is to use this particular spot as a professionally minded blog.  I’m not always good at my “enuncipation proclimamification” but I’ll try to elaborate and enunciate as best as I can, when I post.  I will also try to make no apologies and to stand up for my own opinions, even when they differ from everyone else.  However, I do intend to fully admit when wrong, so don’t think I’m out to be a jerk, I’m just going to stand up and not allow myself to be walked on… as much.

For those that know me, they know I correct a lot of what I do and say, for fear of either being rejected, or for fear of offending people.  Here however, this is my world, my opinions, spilled out for everyone.  If that’s a good thing, or if I keep up with this, is a different issue.
