doctor burn out reaching epidemic proportions.
Burnout is a major problem in the healthcare industry and is often driven by excessive workload, imbalance between job demands and skills, a lack of job control and prolonged stress
the modern stress on economics in medicine, plus the pressure from insisting paper work be done in minute detail means your attention is switched from caring for the patient to documenting the disease.

what is not mentioned: The actual rate of use.
The danger is lowered ability to think as the brain ages.
