G+_George Kozi Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This is a true story about Tech. Originally shared by George Kozi So, I had a doctors appointment at the local hospital today. Periodical checkup. This is how it all went down. - I entered the main hall. The only queue I saw was at the coffee machine in the restaurant that's in a corner of the main hall. - I held my hospital ID card up one of the several machines there. - It read it and asked me if my information (address date of birth etc) is correct. - I said yes - It told me "you have an appointment with [doctor's name] at 13.15. Follow route x marked on the floor until you reach waiting room y. The doctor will call you" -I did. - Meanwhile it pinged the doctor's computer and told him I was there. - He came out of his office and invited me in. - All my blood analyses results from yesterday's tests were already on his computer, together with all the other relevant info he needed. I liked the efficiency of it all. Taxpayer's money well spent.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
