http://www.forbes.com/sites/dandiamond/2015/06/02/why-doctors-really-quit/
One of the author's arguments seems to be that doctors do a lot of complaining about EHRs and the like, but don't actually quit and leave medicine because they have families/retirement accounts to fund. Therefore it must not be that bad if they're not actually quitting medicine over it--like many threaten to do. This seems like a very narrow-minded argument to such a monumental issue.
Are EHRs really that big of an impediment to providing quality care? Is it just the older generations that are less likely to adapt or does this not bode well with freshly minted doctors as well?
