I am so curious to know what people have said to you in response to your remarks. I too have just finished my course. I can not ever imagine being able to remember all that I have learned in a way that I will not have to cart all my Stedmans where ever I go, not to mention seeing the day my typing speed will be normal!  It is good to know that I am not alone.

I can only relate to my experience

All I know is that when the clinic had their docs do their own EMR's, patient load went down, their hours went up.  Also, of the three clinics that have contacted me regarding the EMR's, all were on three different programs.  One was even a large hospital  with clinics that were not happy with their EMR's.  They like the access but not the input.   Also with billing with certain modifiers, the insurance companies would either question or pay at a lesser rate and so they had to print many chart notes to explain some of the charges.    And, when I went to Kaiser a few years back I did not appreciate the docs back to me and clicking away and told her.  Again, there are many docs that do not like doing it after hours.   The docs in this clinic actually leave at 5, dictate on their way home and are done with it.  Whereas they said when they had been doing the charts they were at the clinic until 6 or 7 or working on them at home and thus they never got done.  Anyway, agree with you to some extent but this has just been my experience in the past 18 months and if they want to pay me $18 to put dictation into the chart why should I complain.   Again, there were were two other clinics that contacted me and all three had different programs.
