nah

I maintain my emacs config

the problem is if someone changes something, that immediately impacts my efficiency which slows me down, then the patient's are pissed, and the administrators are too (which is ironic since they're the ones who signed off on the change)

It has to be rote, no time for exploring

Eh. Whatevs. We look at things differently.

No big deal.

TBH, yes it's a big deal. You correctly identified that docs are especially good at rote memorization. I always thought that this calls for a drastic revamp of accepted UI principles. You would usually design to group things logically, conform to an assumed user story and design around it. Well, docs have exactly one single UI priority: speed. They'll adapt easily to having a thousand infos on the same screen, given time to learn the location of each of those. They'll never adapt to deep menus requiring 10 clicks to reach a form.

I was just saying I won't argue about it. I haven't done UI for medical records software (but some for imaging).

Not really my wheelhouse.
