Tips for clinicians to start coding
I get it, long shifts in a hospital to not encourage the average clinician to learn how to code. There is no doubt that coding can improve your data handling abilities and automate some very dull tasks or improve communication and clinical outcomes, but the environment you work in can make it hard to get you … Continue reading Tips for clinicians to start coding

Use Excel? Automate and speed up the boring stuff with Python!
The more familiar you get with code and databases the more you cringe when you hear that the data is in Excel. As soon as I got the hang of databases I would try my best to avoid excel at all costs. It's slow, takes up a lot of memory for what it's storing, gets … Continue reading Use Excel? Automate and speed up the boring stuff with Python!

Have an idea? Stop thinking and start doing!
We finally have a basic search function coded!! Ok, it's not amazing, we can search through our database of pulling objects based on category and display the objects in order with other objects that are inherited.
