AB  - I  can  spend  half  of  my  day  tracking  down  patients.  I  will  hear  somebody  mention  somewhere  in  the  hallway  about  a  patient  with  this  condition,  and  they're  not  on  my  printout,  so  I've  got  to  walk  to  every  floor  and  say,  "Do  you  have  this  patient?"  And  they  go:  "Oh,  that  patient's  on  the  vascular  service,  but  yeah,  I  think  Dr.  [Smith]  already  operated  on  him."  It's  ridiculous.  When  I  take  two  days  off  or,  God  help  us,  if  I  take  off  one  week's  vacation,  it  takes  me  two  days  when  I  come  back  to  find  out  what  happened  to  the  patient  on  the  OR  schedule.  Did  they  in  fact  come  in,  when  did  they  go  home,  why  they  canceled,  where  they  are,  what  happened  to  them.  It's  a  horror.  I  can't  read  a  progress  note;  I  can't  read  half  of  the  orders.  I  mean,  if  it's  a  routine  orthopedic  patient,  I  know  what  they're  going  to  order,  I  know  what  they're  going  to  write,  so  I  can  read  those.  But  if  the  patient  develops  a  medical  complication  and  I  can't  read  that  doctor's  note,  I  don't  know  what  he's  saying  in  there.
