Doctors Office Beef

Why is it that you go into the doctors office and, with each visit no doubt, have to fill out paper work?
I get that on the FIRST visit they need to have insurance info, medical history, family medical history and current medications or ailments but good Lord; after the first visit, especially if you're the SAME person and it's consecutive appointments! Must they waste paper AND time having you fill out this nonsense?!
BUT here's the real root of my beef:

Never mind they make you sit and fill this info out CLEARLY-
They don't READ it!! I know this because you finally get back with the nurse and she comes asking the same questions that were on the "mandatory" paper!
My opinion! If you're going to ASK these questions, don't make me waste paper writing then down and if you want me to WRITE them down, don't ask me them verbatim! Dag! Common sense! The last office visit I went to, when the nurse asked me something that was on the paper I simply said, "I wrote it all down!"
My thing is; not only does the nurse ask you the same questions you wrote down...here comes the doctor: "So you're allergic to aspirin?" Is that what it says on the paper you're reading? Isn't that what I told your nurse and she typed the info into that iPad looking gadget?! Hello?! But, I simply say, "Yes."
Well as you should know by now I try to offer suggestions whenever I have "beef". So here goes:

Having a generic form is fine, however ONLY current information should have to be filled out. For example CURRENT issues or complaints. Have it already in the computer your patients name, address, medical history and allergins! If something needs to be changed; have a place specifically for that.
Online options! Online check-in for paper work. Hello?! Go GREEN!
