This is exactly what I've been saying this whole time. I'm glad people are catching on. Just a couple years ago, I was considered a kook for never answering phone calls and only calling back if someone leaves a message. Already, I know of more people who are doing the same thing. More business's, even in the medical industry, seem willing to communicate over email. The writing is on the wall for ye olde telephone system. Everyone in positions of power seem complicit with phone scams, probably because it will effectively force people off it.
- johnpowell 7y agoA few months ago I was bored and ran some email addresses in my contacts through haveibeenpwned. Turns out my radiologist uses his work email (a .edu address) for Kickstarter, Disqus, Dropbox, and 11 others. Now I call his landline when I have a cancer related question. I used to just email him.

- lonelappde 7y agoWow. Discussing medical records via email is a textbook HIPAA violation from the get-go.
- dredmorbius 7y agoEmail is unfortunately also quite problematic (as sibling comment notes).
- dredmorbius 7y agoAny particularly good arguments / posts you've made on this?
