> What happened to doctor-patient confidentiality? It was cast by the wayside long ago. First it was the "mental health" exemptions, then various law enforcement provisions, then third-party "office solutions", then transcriptionist services, then private medical databases... You might as well assume that anything you tell your doctor is going to be recorded and (eventually) used against you. And then, as was alluded to earlier, there's the problem of incorrect information in those databases... and your only recourse is to give them more-accurate information to sell. All the dice are loaded against the patient. And as anyone online for long knows, data is forever.
