This past summer has wreaked havoc on our electronic equipment in the clinic. Certainly, this is nothing new. As I have described before, our computer has suffered the vengeance of heat and humidity. Almost every component in our desktop computer with the exception of the Intel processor, the sound card, and the metal case has been replaced during the last 2 years.
While we were in the US, the clinic's HP ultrasound began to overheat and is no longer in use until we can modify it to allow cooler operation. Our brand new machine for doing "Complete Blood Counts" has also succumbed to some unknown error. We are now waiting on replacement parts to see if it can be made operational again. Not to be left out, the EKG would not turn on at all during a recent clinic.
These electronic gizmos are not a necessity in our clinic but they sure make life as a doctor a little easier (and cheaper for our patients). Pray for our electronic sidekicks that they would survive well ... and pray for our patience while we deal with these problems.
