Day +120

I am fine today. Now continue the child specialist story…

Since no other child clinic was open, my wife brought Aaron to that clinic. I warned my wife to exercise extra caution against the specialist. My wife told me later that the clinic is really advanced. The registration, medical record and prescription are all computerized. Within minutes upon a new registration, the patient will receive a very well laminated registration card with bar code on it. When the patient comes to see the doctor again, the nurse just scans the registration card with bar code reader, all medical records are at the fingertip in a split second. Furthermore, the specialist prescribes medicine by scanning in the prescription through bar code reader. What a brilliant approach! It is a paperless and the most efficient clinic that I ever know.

Unfortunately, after the computerization process, the specialist himself got “computerized” as well :-( My wife told me that he behaved exactly like a robot. He listened like robot, talked like robot and thought like robot. After achieving a “paperless” environment for the clinic, the specialist became “emotionless”. He always put on his long, cold and serious face.

If he engaged me as his programmer, I will definitely reprogram his face so that it looks round, warm and always cheerful. I believe this would attract more patients and bring him more profit. Nevertheless, he might still want to maintain the old long, cold and serious face. Because this type of expression indicates to you how serious your child or even your condition is, and thus making the high treatment fee seems to be very reasonable to you :-)

See you next post :-)
