Think back to maybe ten years ago: you’re at the doctor’s for your annual appointment. A clerk checks you in, you fill in the obligatory forms (again), a nurse asks you a series of possibly redundant questions, completes your chart, and eventually, the doctor arrives…who spends a few precious minutes with you, until they rush off to the next patient. Throughout the appointment, it feels like everyone spent more time on the computer than they did with you, assessing your health.

We in fact got so many responses to our prompt this year, that we have had to narrow them down to just the best and most interesting.
