Call into any doctor's office or hospital and you will be connected with a low level clerk who has complete and unfettered access to your medical records.
This is not even a new thing. It has been the case for decades. It is just easier now since there is a computerized data base.
And as to there not being a nationwide data base of medical records.... Ever hear of Epic?
Oh please just stop. You are wrong, wrong, wrong.
And yes, I’m quite familiar with Epic.
I’ve worked in hospital IT since 1997, and for Epic’s largest competitor for the last 14 years.
I can assure you that while Epic, and other EMRs, are used nationwide, none of them could remotely considered to be a “national database”.
