Actually, Alison, privacy concerns were tops on my list (and published) long before this post was written. I’m sorry I don’t have time to dig it out but if you’ll trace back through the links, you’ll see that way back in January 2008 I wrote something that said “Fat chance” to the idea of giving my private information to any service like this.

AND you’ll see that in early 2009 I decided I wanted to step beyond that, to help encourage innovation by exploring what these tools could do. This was a personal choice, and I never urged any other individual to overrule their own privacy preferences.

Of course I have VERY strong opinions about the morality of an insurer or employer taking the action you describe…

Dave, I noticed you didn’t address any privacy concerns. Let’s say a patient uploads their health data to google–which includes an admission for chemical dependency/detox. Their insurance company or workplace discovers this, and fires them. They couldn’t turn around and sue for a HIPAA violation if they’ve released the data themselves. Just something to think about.

James, you are a doofus maximus!

Dude, if you don’t watch this stuff and some RN puts down: “James has allergy to PENACILLEINS!” then you might be up in that and dieing and stuff and NEED a abibiotics!! That would = PENACILLEINS! It *should* save your life but since you didn’t bother to check taht medical error just killed you since you get some crap like Amox or something (which is NO WHERE NEARLY AS STRONG AND POTENT AS THE PENACILLEINS!! I LEARNED ALL THIS B/C I’m A “DOCROT OF PHARMACY” which is like a doctor but BETTER_-we TEACH the studpid doctors about drugs nad medications and salves and unguiments and stuff–you have konw i dea how little those dudes know!!!!1) so that would be the end of you, right Darwin! (ha ha! j/k to all my creationist bros! I’m down with that, 4 realz).

So in sum, check it. you NEED to.

Yours,

LaFleur (not my real name of course!)

The question is WHY? Why care about this now? For 100 years the docs have done all this crazy stuff and just kept the papers to themselves. Now we all have to make this our business! I think that is part of the reason why everyone is so “busy” and “tired” all the time! Let the docs do the medical records, let the taxmen do the taxes, etc. I am a video engineer. I don’t expect my doctor to understand super 8 tape or how to do a smooth cut transition. Why should s/he expect me to know an 802.11 b code for my pancreasee is broken!? YEAH! HELL YAY!
