Last time I had imaging done, my doctor gave me a list of nearby imaging services, and the one I selected was able to electronically send files back to my doctor.
Heck I've witnessed my old dentist send x-rays over to my new dentist, it took like 5 minutes. Then again it seems like dentists are better at technology all around.
- pc86 4y agoI can't speak at all to dental stuff as I've never worked with it. But to your first point, that's sort of expected - they're on a list already, the access has already been configured. They've already gone through all the nonsense. The point is to send it to any arbitrary doctor they've never spoken to before, which requires offline media.
