I'm severely uneducated about some things. what is "the Magic Christian"
and can I read about it on the internet ?

BTW, just pondering about the pros and cons about document management, 
since both windows and linux offer document scanning applications,
what's the disadvantage of scanning into a directory the day's batch of
received documents, and then using a special directory browser in an
emr application, attaching meta-data to each file in the directory e.g.
patient name,id number, from who, about what,  so that the directory
icon then shows the filename and a little box with the metadata attached
to it. Then a button is pressed, and any files with metadata attached
to it , is then uploaded into the emr's patient records.
To attach metadata , each file can be associate with a gesture , e.g.
double-click, and a dialog pops up with a search/select patient section,
a search/select specialist sectin, and some text field's, possibly combo
box, to associate a patient condition, or free text description of
what the document is about. 
Any criticisms welcome regarding this concept of a workflow.
