My cousin is a radiologist and I taught him a bit of python so he could create a GUI tool to help him write some reports. Apparently only about 5% of what he writes needs to be his own notes, the other 95% is boiler-plate that varies based on what his 5% is.

Before he used to have like 30 MS Word documents that acted as templates for his most common situations. He basically had a psuedocode workflow on sticky notes he already used that was really easy to turn into real python.

It's not a fabulous project or anything but he gets to spend a bit more time looking at each case, and also gets to go home sooner.
