I started at a new pdoc office yesterday because my old one moved. The first lady took my vitals and entered my extensive med list in a computer system. The second lady, the main nurse practitioner, asked about my abuse history and started to go over meds and enter them in the computer. I asked why we were doing it again because I had just done it with the other lady. She snapped "Because life sucks and the computers are out to get us."

Eff her. How dare she tell a depressed and suicidal person who traveled far and payed a lot something like that. Ever. But especially at an intake meeting?! Shame on that shaggy birch tree.
