Oh so the recording is being sent to a compliant service. That’s okay then. I’m sure all these doctors practices with their creaky dusty monitor mounted windows 10 thinkstations absolutely can’t be hacked or that the data could never fall into the hands of the government or anyone else.

Bananas. Why are we letting this happen?



So you are objecting to general electronic processing of healthcare records then?

Not sure how that is realistic in a world where insurance exists, unless your ideal is paper documentation and paying privately for your treatments in fiat. If that is what your after, I guess we've already been in a "over your dead body" world for decades.


No, my doctors surgery is fine to store my patient records internally (e.g on-site).

But no it’s not fine to store those externally without my express written permission , or make recordings and send them to a third party.

It’s realistic here — this is how it works in Germany for decades and i’m fine with it.

edit: storing these on an american cloud provider, or any cloud provider really counts as a third party to me, also.
