Tell that to the family of the patient who was just killed because he was given Penicillin when his records clearly state he's critically allergic. Or maybe it wasn't "clear" because it was in some Doc's unreadable handwriting. Or maybe that original incident is sitting in the files of three doctors ago. Any physician who still wants to do pen and paper should be drummed out of the business for good reason. All patients should be demanding better. Errors happen all of the time with most of them swept under the rug.
