- DoctorOetker 8y agoHow about also give citizens unrestricted access to their medical files through an online platform (possibly government maintained or possibly insurance maintained, or possibly self-maintained see below...)?

Then both doctor and patient have a copy of their interaction. Any poor advice is now provable to a third party (say court).
