On-Line Medical Registry

[downeast@tir.com (downeast)]

     In this day and age when the confidentiality of our medical records is
facing the most serious crisis in history WHY on G--'s green earth would
ANYONE want to engage this service???
     Some hospitals are providing the COMPLETE radiology, etc. reports to
OUTSIDE BILLING SERVICES for crying out loud! At least in that case, in the
state of OH anyway, you have a chance to object via litagation to this practice.
     If you willingly, on your own, provide your medical information to this
"service" it would appear that you would have no legal recourse at all if
the information lands in the wrong hands.
     Our medical records have the potential to mean BIG profits to those who
can access them.
