Tell it to Big Med.

Electronic medical records are the bane of my existence.

Absoltely hated whwn they went to the electr9nic records. Had a doctor at the time who left the practice to work on the switch-over to electronic records. A year later my state health network started asking everyone about guns in the house. That went on for months until it was deemed an invasion of p4ivacy, and th3y stopped asking, BUT everyone who answered the question, their answers were on record and available to all health networks by that time. We were in the process of moving when they first asked me, and i was able to say “nope, no guns in the home” (th3 new home we were moving to... we hadnt moved the guns there yet lol), bu5 really i shoulda jusy refused to answer, but at least i got it on record that there were no guns in the home)

Another crappy thing now is “health portals” that they tout for your convenience, claiming it is safe (yet we’ve all see huge supposedly secure corporations get hacked and all info s5olen)

I refuse to sign up for a portal (probably w9n’t help protect info, but i just dont want yet another set of records online in yet another location for increased risk of being hacked. I call for my results, or just wait till next apointment to discuss them)
