Medicinal net
Bruce Merkin, a doctor at the community health clinic in Wayne, US, is about to put his patients' records on the net. Merkin and his colleagues at the clinic will record patient-notes electronically. The database would be expanded later by adding a summary of conditions and medical history. 'I do not want to wait 10 minutes to find out whether the patient is allergic to pennicilin or not,' remarks Merkin.
