We are marching merrily towards new set of diseases but medical pool is also bringing a beeline of inventions to us.
So it gets roughly squared off.
If there is malaria, there is quinine.
Also, there has been a huge addition to the infrastructure related to the medical fraternity.
Today, it is possible to facilitate nice treatment through many devices.
One such device is a Medical Card Scanner.
It has become a rage with doctors and it deserves each inch the respect that it is getting.
A Medical card scanner has made it so easy for the doctors.
Previously, they had to run through manually written case histories, medical information and other primary information of the patients, the writing was sometimes not legible.
At other times, there were quite a few mistakes in the sheet.
This peeved the doctors as it sometime resulted in wrong line of treatment; for instance if hyperglycemia is marked as hypoglycemia then the treatment can falter badly.
Also, the medical cards which were manually made took some time in the preparation.
This resulted in worsening of the condition of emergency patients.
Yet, most of the times, ambulance drivers had to wait till the medical cards came in their hand.
Today, it's all changing and changing in a big way.
A Medical card scanner lets you swipe the medical cards through them.
In moments, the card scanner gathers all the information and then it floats it into its database from where it is transferred to some application of the medical management unit.
This way, the doctors can get all the information they need in a flash.
Also, the doctors can get computer generated printouts of the data and images that the medical card scanner scans.
