My locum, bless his cotton socks, will not use my practice software with any 
amount of pursuasion (my own self-written years ago - fabulous program, but 
I'm not biased), so as a result the only way he will work in the practice is 
if I provide a copy of mdw2 for his use only!!!!!!. He does write what he has 
done in the paper notes for each patient .

Yes, dangerous, and the worst of all worlds.
