Re: [MEDITECH-L] Buggy Meditech programming of DTS's

Hi Jim: I have to agree with you on that point. Meditech has spread its programmers too thin and they do not have enough knowledgeable people to do the work that needs to be done. It also takes a long time to learn what needs to be done and how to do it, so if you have someone who is good at som
