The Techies of Medicine

Radiologists are the techies of medicine (along with radiation oncology and nuclear medicine I suppose). They have all the cool gadgets. In the morning, we have a teleconference between the multiple hospitals with large flat-screen monitors communicating between each site (not as neat as the picture shown above, but pretty cool nevertheless). The conference room is equipped with multiple projectors, and they have two IT people on site during the day to fix problems. In the reading rooms, residents look off three monitors at a time, dictating, scrolling through images, and pulling up patient history simultaneously. As a mild technology junkie myself, I think it's awesome.
