I've gotten the sense that many of the doctors I've encountered in Germany, who are busily typing at their computer, are frequently documenting their billing items.

I started to think this after seeing the bills from multiple visits, where it's often broken out, in detail, what they had done. It's probably not as bad as that, there probably is some record-keeping happening in there. But considering how overworked most doctors are in the public health system, and how little time is commonly allocated for each patient, it can feel a bit like you didn't actually interact with a human doctor.
