Introduction 

The use of electronic medical records (EMRs) for keeping patient records has become the norm rather than the exception in BC. EMRs are not only a fundamental component in keeping patient records, but also how physicians submit billings to the Medical Services Plan (MSP) for services rendered. Before EMRs were implemented, physicians used paper charts to keep patient records and a billing software to submit their billings to MSP. It is becoming more common for physicians to use one system for both tasks. 

An ocular foreign body injury is one of the most common workplace injuries—yet it is one of the most easily prevented, provided workers and employers fully embrace the importance of properly fitting eye protection that does not compromise vision. These injuries may be physical, chemical, environmental, or infective. Appropriate eyewear is readily available and should not hamper work performance in any way. To prevent injury, proper eyewear should be worn whenever ocular trauma is a risk.

What profession might you have pursued, if not medicine?
Marine biology. I wanted to study dolphins. My brother would study sharks. We were going to have them fight. We could have made millions.
