[FRIAM] Weird observation

[∄ uǝʃƃ]

Perhaps.  But if that's the case, I would immediately leave and find another Dr.  As I explained before, and is peppered throughout Renee's training, the "assessment of the patient", which involves really *looking* at the patient, is more powerful than any other (set of) metric(s).

To be clear, the patient assessment machine can be completely autistic.  But they must "assess the patient" by looking at her.

I then used my familiarity with electronic medical records (I was a product mgr at such a company at one point) to finagle his attention and demonstrate our mutual affinity for how computation can help him provide good healthcare.  I even explained how I'd looked him up online beforehand and knew all the schools he went to and that he had no active malpractice suits against him.  (Which was no small feat since he's an immigrant from India.)
