But unlike most of his peers, the undergraduate math major became enamored of the revolution in computers, which at the time “occupied buildings the size of the Pentagon,” he said. However, within a few years, the call of medicine had taken Gottesman away from his love of programming. The man and the avocation were estranged until medical malpractice emerged as a troublesome issue. Frustrated by the laborious reporting requirements hospitals were adopting to limit liability, Gottesman sat down at his new Apple II, the first mass-produced microcomputer, and created what is believed to be the first electronic medical consent form. Stored on a floppy disk, the program sought to reduce paperwork and promote more meaningful conversations between doctors and patients.
