Saw the Daily Show interview with the guy who wrote his experience as a boy soldier in Sierra Leone last night. Very interesting how he said the toughest part was not becomign a boy soldier in a chaotic environment as that offered order, but learning how to become human again after the war. Reminded me of the tough problems of gang culture with the shootings in south London. Don’t imagine many authority figures are going to be thinkign along those lines though as central to the strategy to defeat gung crime, ey?

Hospitals pick hi-tech clipboard?
This electronic clipboard looks interesting:
“An electronic clipboard that has the potential to save lives has been unveiled. It is hoped the device – known as a mobile clinical assistant (MCA) – will cut the time doctors and nurses spend on paper work.
“It could also improve patient safety and speed up treatment times. The portable device lets clinicians access patient records at the bedside, write notes and order essential tests in real-time. One senior doctor described it as one of the “most exciting developments in my 25 years in medicine”.” (Maybe a good ‘interface’ for a shift handover system?)
