no, but my patients read the screen and check that i correctly record things - 
an interesting part of the exchange that Balint could never have predicted.
don't bother with mouse input - you have to pay far more attention to the 
screen than when touch-typing. I type better when I am not watching the 
keyboard but you can't point and click anything without playing hand-eye 
co-ordination games. It's as difficult as listening to someone's history 
while you have the stethoscope on the chest trying to sort out lung sounds.
