title: Ignorance is not bliss.
abstract: The inanimate, little 1.5-g pieces of matter carry far more import than they should. Worse, they tend to multiply, like aggressive malignancies, to form paperwork--that dreaded, colossal barrier between physicians and weightier matters. Growing mounds of it demand physicians' attention and steal time away from healing the sick and saving the dying.
