Wife’s doctors used to dictate the info and send it off to be transcribed in the Midwest. Now most of those people who did it as a nice side job fromhome are out of luck. My DR looked like a deer in headlights first time I saw him with the EPIC system. By the next year he was a pro and liked it.
Paper files get lost and mis-filed all the time. Computer files always there so no file searches to find the DR left it somewhere and forgot.
