Delphi in an Emergency – Gary Ayton

Gary is an emergency medicine doctor at a group of Melbourne hospitals – Sunshine, Footscray and williamstown – and self taught Delphi programmer. He has written, commissioned and supports a full featured patient management system. The system replaces a commercial vendor supplied system, and is preferred by users because it better addresses current needs. Features include RFID logon, LAN paging and patient photographs to avoid misidentification. May be ready for commercialization. Related informatiion is on Gary’s blog – which could be inspiring for professional programmers.
