    and what is it?


    (from Jim Kunstler)

    The new “farm” office campus of Epic systems, a medical software colossus, in Verona, Wisconsin. This agglomeration of super-sized fake vernacular rural building types is scaled just right for the super-sized racket that medicine has become in this land, and is just as dishonest.

    Have a brother-in-law in hospital IT. He gets flown up there every two weeks to learn the system. Epic is a private company that may be on the verge of monopolizing medical records at the large hospitals. The "campus" is pretty bizarre. Video link below doesn't scratch the surface. They are obviously rolling in money. They pay high salaries right out of college, but turnover is high. You work your ass off and burn out. System is quite complex. I asked the people I was talking to, "Was it overly complex because American medical insurance." "That's a huge factor," everyone agreed.
