How is that all necessary to persist at all?
- matrix87 2y agoBecause it's worth something That's the danger of having a dedicated institution for people giving that kind of sensitive information
- boomboomsubban 2y agoBecause your therapist doesn't have a perfect memory and has dozens of patients. They rely on notes to remind them of what you've discussed in the past.
- throwaway290 2y agoThose notes don't need to be persisted in any central database though. And while they are stored temporarily they do not ever need to be decryptable by anyone except that one therapist (by way of physical token or biometrics or, you know, paper locked in a drawer) I really hope this practice is not mandated by the government... if it is then my view of Finland is going to change a lot
