Southern_Man 0 #5 November 30, 2012 The part of that article that does not make any sense is the claim that patients have to see the doctor to access the information in their chart. A patient can ask for medical records at any time and it does not have to be in conjunction with a visit."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

weekender 0 #8 November 30, 2012 QuoteWelcome to Obamacare and IPAB. for your own safety no one can access your medical records except the hospital and the dr on your behalf. that is the law and MDT is doing nothing wrong. i have no beef with that as long as exceptions can be made. the Gov't is slow and stupid at times, not news. what is wrong, IMO, and no one mentioned it is that they can profit from it. If MDT will not release it to the individual, than they should not be able to sell it to a third party. that is a no brainer and the Gov't should get off their butt and fix it. i would prefer if the gov't did not try to protect me so much."The point is, I'm weird, but I never felt weird."

wildcard451 0 #11 November 30, 2012 Let's just call it even eh? They get the medical data from the device, and you get to....live? I am not going to be able to explain raw pacer/defib data points to someone in a 15 minute visit without extensive review time. That's what the summary reports are for - that the BioMed company provides - from a device that likely took billions to develop. That they pay people/programs to analyze said data and give me a summary report, so that I can tell you as a patient that a) everything looks great since last time or b) we need to change something so that you don't keep having events. They have to make a profit somehow, to be able to keep making cool shit that helps us keep people alive. The data that they collect, as long as not personally idenitfiable, should certainly be allowed to be shared with other researchers to collaborate and improve science. That being said: /most patients have no use for the raw data //most doctors have no use for the raw data ///patients should be able to access any data that comes out of their body. ////I have not read NEXT - but it sounds like I need to add it to my list.

If you are seriously claiming that people get 30 free cell phones from the government, I'll file your posts under the same category as Rhys's posts - entertaining to read, and that's about it.
