This conference is humongous.
Lots of hype about the new release versions of the EMR program, that look terrific, almost to good too be true. We'll see when the actual update arrives how it functions in the real world, in clinic, with live patients.

One thing I thought I would never need to know as a doctor: tables and relational databases. Oh my. It's just endless.

Still sunny and warm. There was an evening social after the sessions yesterday, out on "the beach" (a stretch of white sand near the pond in the center of the complex). Hundreds of people in "conference casual" suits and loafers or skirts and high heels trying to navigate the sand, while excessively loud hip hop and disco played. Huge lines for the free drinks. It was all a bit much. And then, a fireworks display with the logo of the company appearing in lights. Egad.
