<p>"Physicians have terrible technology, but they refuse to recognize high-tech as a medical specialty.

This must change.</p> <p>Physicians have a higher suicide rate than post-combat troops in the military. A lot of this is due to widespread burnout from poorly designed EHRs. Yes, it sucks, but who is really at fault?</p> <p>What if this problem was a consequence of a professional stance medicine can choose to reverse?
