Thick Skin and PACS ADMINISTRATION

Development of "Thick Skin" is as much of an evolution step for a PACS ADMIN as the feature of flight would have been for the dodo ( . . .the extinct bird!!!). I guess, in all verbosity, i am trying to say. . . keep your ears shut, your skin oiled and your eyes open. . . for a PACS ADMIN cannot afford to get affected by a users emotions. There is a very thin line between observation and administration of a system. I am noticing that my job is getting to be as much about babysitting my users as it is about making their experience a profitable and productive experience.. . .and I thought it was about making my function obsolete( automatic).. . . . Hmmmmmm ( still thinking!)

Where do I start. . .

I now have my own blog about PACS and its associated headaches. I have flirted with the idea for a while, but my natural instincts as PACS Administrator ( critical thinking and analysis) have always told me that I was not "affected" enough to have my own rants and rave blog. I also admit that Dr. Dalai and his irrevernce to the trading community of PACS ( vendors and companies) have been instrumental in giving me the ammo to start my own blog! Thank You Dr. Dalai - You are an unnatural ally in the quest for PACSIFICIENCY ( PACS+EFFICIENCY)
