I think a good number of hospitals have that infrastructure in place already. The doctors at ours all carry around laptops, then have to balance them awkwardly or find a table to set them on. Aside from being physically awkward to use at times, there does seem to be a lot of benefits. I can go to one doctor at one clinic and he can pull up my medical records and see what medications another doctor has prescribed me. Basically, any doctor I go to at any medical facility here has instant access to my entire patient history if they need it. This seems to me like it would be particularly valuable in an emergency situation. I'm not exactly in a big city, either. It's a rural area of eastern Kentucky. I tend to think the medical profession is one of the markets with the biggest potential with regards to tablets, the other being schools.
