An 84-year-old doctor who refuses to use a computer has lost her medical license


(AP)Aside from a fax machine and landline telephone, there isn't much technology in the office of physician Anna Konopka, 84. [A NASA astronaut films his spacewalk — and a breathtaking view of Earth]Konopka said she felt forced to surrender her medical license in September after New Hampshire Board of Medicine officials challenged her record-keeping, prescribing practices and medical decision-making, according to court documents. After Konopka surrendered her license, the board's medical review subcommittee received additional complaints against her, according to court documents. “It stinks, but you have to find a new doctor, and it’s a rat race,” one of Konopka's patients, Stanley Wright, told the Associated Press. I don’t know what to do.”But on Nov. 15, Merrimack Superior Court Judge John Kissinger dismissed Konopka's case to regain her license.
