- I know here in DC at the presidents hospital (which is actually located in Beyhesda). Most of the doctors are actively walking around with their iPhones using them for work. My buddy who is a surgeons assistant showed ke this app where they all minutes patience heart rates while not even being in the room among other doctor thing (lol didn't know everything he was explaining). It was definitely one of those oh s#%^ moments. I knew te iPhone had some cool apps but nothing to that magnitude.07-30-10 07:15 AMLike 0
- ALL of my friends who are in Pharmacy school have iPhones. They said the school made them get an iPod or iPhone because of podcasts and certain medical iPhones app that they needed for class.
I think its quite OBVIOUS doctors prefer iPhones over Blackberries. The medical apps in the App Store are AMAZING, and iPhone render HTML way better than Blackberries.
The medical apps in the App Store is enough alone to get an iPhone over a Blackberry.07-30-10 02:45 PMLike 0 - I can see why, and there'll always be trades that the iphone will be better suited for, another example is graphic designers.
I would be worried if doctors would rely on iphones to do their jobs, do they even disinfect them between patients? Are mobile phones not supposed to be off in hospitals?

With all of the information that is out there and the need to retrieve that information, as well as the fact that most of our services are primarily web-based, the browser on the iPhone currently offers much better access.

There are medical apps, legal apps, and finance apps that just dont exist on BB. These apps replace a lot of time on the computer and can be used on the go (in the court room, bedside, etc), not just from a desk.
The days of merely needing a communication-only device are numbered.08-01-10 12:09 PMLike 0
