New Hardware

So, to assure everyone that we are, in fact, practicing physicians (rather than a bunch of techno-nerds sitting behind the veil of a Mac Server), we wanted to pass on inform everyone about a couple of purchases we made prior to the end of the tax year. We plan on not only providing some product review, but also a review of how we integrated the products into our clinical practice.

To be honest, we have no idea how well they will integrate with our office (which is exclusively Mac-based), however we because we are somewhat “geeky”, we’re looking forward to seeing how well they fit in.

The first item is a Piccolo xpress, the second is a Bodelin ProScope HR. Why these items, you ask?

1. I’m simply tired of playing a continual game with my local laboratories in efficiently receiving lab results, so I thought I would at least perform the more common labs in my own office, ie lipids and CMP specifically (I already do my own INRs and A1c’s).
2. I’ve been using a digital camera to take pictures of interesting dermatology lesions, however found the whole process a bit cumbersome and hoping that the ProScope HR will make the whole process of obtaining and storing the images a bit easier.

So, we’ll see how it does. Stay tuned.
