"..spend more time on treating the patient's electronic medical record than the patient's themselves.".   You are so on it, Dan!  Hospital staff use to stick the tabs on my shirt for every item they used in my hospital care.  They use to have the price tag clearly visible on the IV bottle.  That alone was distressing in an already distressing situation.  You are right,  the monitor on wheels get more TLC than the patient. Reality check... somebody gotta pay the bills.
