EKG faxed to my Palm Pre

One of the marvels of modern technology is the ability to view faxes on your phone. Having a Palm Pre makes that very convenient, if you are on a football field or at a restaurant!

If the emergency department calls and says, "Hey, can you take a look at this EKG for us?" You can say, "Sure, fax it to me." You give them your fax number (provided through www.MyFax.com) and they fax it to your number, and it promptly pushed through my gmail account to my Palm Pre as an image or pdf file. I can quickly view it on my phone and tell them what to do with the patient (or what not to do)!

That is pretty amazing!

To the right is an example of an EKG that was faxed to my phone. It may look blurry and unclear to all of you, but there is enough information for me to give them a useful answer. If you right click and save the image, you will get the full sized image. On my Palm Pre, I can zoom in to view various parts of the EKG and that is awesome!

Thank you Palm, Google, and MyFax for providing us with the latest and greatest technology! This certainly makes life easier for all of us, and keeps patients safer!
