I had a doctors appointment today, I will not say what doctor and what his specialty was because you can’t have any secrets anymore under this administration. I was somewhat taken aback when the nurse came in with her computer and discussed with me why I was there and what procedure they wanted me to undergo. I don’t know what possessed her to tell me what I had told a different doctor a couple of weeks before when I had a routine checkup and blood and lab work done as a part of my normal semi-annual health care program. But to my dismay, she read things to me that I had told one of my other doctors.
I could not believe these things were now in my personal medical records for anyone in the medical field and probably DOJ, IRS or NSA to read. Dumb me, thought any discussions with my medical doctor were confidential, not to be released without my permission to anyone. I was informed by the nurse that was no longer the case. The way things were set up now all doctors computers were interfaced with a main-frame system so that each doctor could call up your name, age and SSN and read what you had talked with any other doctor about.
Apparently, under the Obama administration and the possibility of Obama Care becoming factual you really didn't have any secrets from one doctor to another. So from now own I will not talk to any of my medical practitioners about anything except what they are doing to me for whatever ailment I went to them for.
At my age if have had the same doctors for many years and we often exchange jokes and talk about things that I sometimes I might consider are not necessarily a part of my medical problem. I have one doctor who likes to tell jokes while he is examining me and we often exchange the most recent funny stories we have heard. Quite often we might even discuss personal things around my life style. I thought patient confidentiality was a sacred trust.
From now on, I plan on not going to a doctor unless it is a dire necessity. I absolutely do not like any kind of public knowledge of what I say to my doctor in passing being recorded on his damn computer, which is main-framed into the rest of the medical network, for the rest of the medical world and others to see at their will. This country is going to hell in a hand basket with this administration’s spying on everyone and I guess, since I’m 76 years old and on Medicare, they would like very much to euthanize me to keep me from going to the doctor and costing them money. My personal doctors require me to visit them every six months and the one I went to today I am supposed to see him once a year. I would like to never go to him again, nor the one before him that put that personal information in his computer. But it is there now and there is no way to get it removed.
