Sign of the Times

 

Matthew has a follow-up with his pediatrician today from his hospitalizaton last week.  As I was scheduling the appt. I was informed that due to the office changing to electronic records we need to arrive 45 minutes before our scheduled appt. time.  Additionally, we should plan to be there for up to 2 hours.  Needless to say no one is looking forward to spending 3 hours at the doctor.

 

 

It is completely frustrating for the offices to make this switch.  Through visits with my elderly father to his ENT we have encountered the dreaded "switch."  While we were at Children's last week we were informed that they will also be making the change to electronic records later in the year.  Definitely a sign of the times.
