I'm currently a surgical resident and while the iPad is pretty cool, I definitely have little or no need for it in the hospital. The only medical app on my iPad is Medscape, which I haven't even used yet. I do use it on my iPhone occasionally to look up some obscure drug, but the iPad isn't terribly convenient in and around the hospital - if it doesn't fit in a scrub pocket, I don't carry it around with me. Well that and the fact that I don't want the iPad getting covered in MRSA/VRE.
Maybe because the iPad's Apps aren't supported in your hospital. Having your hospital support it makes it a hundred times more useful and useable.
Anyway, I ordered an iPad 2
Why, you ask.
1) The faster processor will improve the massive data loading.
2) It's white, so it fits much better here lol
3) Every bit of light weight and thinness makes a big difference.
4) There isn't really a fourth reason but I wanted this list to look longer.
The best part is, I have to wait two weeks now, which isn't a big deal but its like its giving me a freaking timeout And I don't even know what I did wrong.
