Doctor spends entire appointment furiously typing into monitor angled just out of view

EVANSTON, Ill. — Following a brief inquiry about a mild sinus headache, local general practitioner Dr. Arthur Leman reportedly spent the entirety of a 12-minute consultation furiously typing on a computer monitor angled just out of his patient’s field of vision.

According to 34-year-old patient Greg Miller, Leman entered Exam Room 3, asked a single question about Miller’s seasonal allergy history, and immediately began an unbroken 80-word-per-minute sprint on a standard-issue Dell keyboard. Miller noted that the physician never once broke eye contact with the screen, which was pivoted exactly 15 degrees away from the examination table, rendering its contents completely invisible.

The aggressive keystrokes reportedly intensified whenever Miller attempted to elaborate on his symptoms. A simple admission that Miller only flossed his teeth "a few times a week" prompted a rapid, two-minute barrage of data entry that culminated in a forceful, echoing strike of the enter key.

Witnesses in the room confirmed that Leman occasionally paused his frantic transcription to let out a low, troubling sigh before resuming his typing with even greater velocity. At one point, the physician reportedly utilized a series of complex keyboard shortcuts, leaving Miller to stare at the gray plastic bezel of the monitor and wonder if his mild post-nasal drip was being cross-referenced against a federal database.

The appointment concluded when Leman abruptly stopped typing, executed a single, resonant mouse click, and casually informed Miller that he was perfectly healthy. Leman then immediately exited the room, leaving the patient alone with the hum of the CPU and the lingering certainty that a comprehensive, highly critical 4,000-word dossier of his physical flaws had just been uploaded to a permanent digital archive.
