IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERS IN MEDICAL FIELD

Importance Of Computers In Medical Field

The situation at hand is complicated one, I do give you that.   But not complicated enough not to be analyzed, with every aspect in mind.   Erma Schegloff is a lonely instructor,   who’s dedicated to her job and as well as to her students.   Who is lusted over by an ex-prisoner, who sat on death row, wrongly accused of crimes he did not commit.  
Erma Schegloffs childhood was a horrible one and it shows psychologically.   From the abandonment of her father always working, to her mother just yelling obscenely “You kids make me sick!” (Oakes 2008)   While her brothers who were supposed to protect her verbally abusing her and hitting her.   She’s a lonely woman due to not having a real family life.   Her fascination with Arno C. Kethy is caused by all the interest he has in her and his openness to her in his essays.   Of course, she ignores all warning signs, she’s curious to see what he’s about.   Especially, what he wants with her.   There is a chance something bad can happen to her in the future, but odds are nothing will.
Innocent?   Yes I do believe he was innocent of the crimes he so called committed.   Why would he be let off of death row, if otherwise?   His time didn’t make him dangerous to society.   Maybe it seems that way because society are the people who made him “guilty.”   Insane, oh hell yes!   Now just imagine sitting in a 6ft 11in by 9ft room, all day every day.   Counting the days until your own death, and the worst part knowing you were innocent.   Kind of plays tricks on your mind and soul, don’t you think?  
Obsessed is too strong of a word, he seems to be fascinated with who she is and what she’s all about.   He poses no threat to her; he had a chance when he waited for her on the steps.   But yet, she made it out just fine.   Now towards other people that’s a different case.   I do believe he assaulted the Reverend.  

Computers are the excellent means for storage of patient related data. Big hospitals employ computer systems to maintain patient records. It is often necessary to maintain detailed records of the medical history of patients. Doctors often require the information about a patient’s family history, physical ailments, already diagnosed diseases and prescribed medicines. This information can be effectively stored in a computer database.

Computers can keep track of prescriptions and billing information. They can be used to store the information about the medicines prescribed to a patient as well as those, which cannot be prescribed to him/her. Computers enable an efficient storage of huge amounts of medical data.

Medicine comprises vast base of knowledge. Computer storage can serve as the best means of housing this information. Medical journals, research and diagnosis papers, important medical documents and reference books can best be stored in an electronic format.

Many of the modern-day medical equipment have small, programmed computers. Many of the medical appliances of today work on pre-programmed instructions. The circuitry and logic in most of the medical equipment is basically a computer. The functioning of hospital-bed beeping systems, emergency alarm systems, X-ray machines and several such medical appliances is based on computer logic.

Computer software is used for diagnosis of diseases. It can be used for the examination of internal organs of the body. Advanced computer-based systems are used to examine delicate organs of the body. Some of the complex surgeries can be performed with the aid of computers. The different types of monitoring equipment in hospitals are often based on computer programming.

Medical imaging is a vast field that deals with the techniques to create images of the human body for medical purposes. Many of the modern methods of scanning and imaging are largely based on the computer technology. We have been able to implement many of the advanced medical imaging techniques, thanks to the developments in computer science. Magnetic resonance imaging employs computer software. Computed tomography makes use of digital geometry processing techniques to obtain 3-D images. Sophisticated computers and infrared cameras are used for obtaining high-resolution images. Computers are widely used for the generation of 3-D images in medicine.

Computer networking enables quicker communication. Computers and Internet have proved to be a boon in all the spheres of life. In the field of medicine, computers allow for faster communication between a patient and a doctor. Doctors can collaborate better over the Internet. Today, it is possible to obtain experts’ opinions within seconds by means of the Internet. Medical professionals sitting on opposite sides of the globe can communicate within minutes by means of the Internet. It is due to computer networking technology that network communication has become easy. Medical practitioners can discuss medical issues in medical forums. They can exchange images and messages in seconds and derive conclusions speedily. They can seek advice and share knowledge in a convenient manner over the Internet.

The importance of computers cannot be stressed enough as computer technology has revolutionized the field of medicine.
