Title basically. I’m about midlife crisis age (lol) and I’ve been on computers and technology since I could walk. What is with all these doctors who are barely older than me who can barely use the Internet, don’t know how to type or what an adblocker is? I don’t feel like I can trust a doctor who is ok with malware coming in because they doesn’t run a free adblock or even DNS block. I mean wth?

Yeah it’s scary. Nurses too. So many that struggle with navigating the EHR and basic computer troubleshooting (have you tried turning it off and on or swapping out the batteries?). Also documenting with amazingly bad English lol. Also doctors doing dictation charting, which you can tell who’s using it by all the silly mistakes
