@bastianallgeier Not to forget standing at the counter, telling them your name and appointment type and getting a loud "ah, yes, you are here for <insert random disease here>. Take a seat, we will call you..." reply...
@Lippe 💯 while her colleague is on the phone and you also learn about the detailed history of three other patients, including their names, addresses and favorite pets.
@bastianallgeier In the beginning of the GDPR shenanigans my doctor didn't really know how to handle the situation. They wanted to be as careful and sensitive as possible and handed out these vibrating notification thingies you get at some restaurants/coffeeshops to the patients so they won't need to announce your name and potentially reveal a secret...
@Lippe „Hajo Frau Meier, wenn sie dann am Dienschdag der Dieter von der Pediküre abholt und zu uns bringt mache ma grad nochmol e großes Blutbild wege ihrer Fettleber“
@bastianallgeier The upsides: they know there will be a mistake so they can handle it. You will put something wrong on some form - but there is enough redundancy that they can find those areas. If you only enter information wrong there will also be mistakes but they will be much less common: nobody will know how to handle them and probably won't even discover them.
@bastianallgeier I’ve been to different doctors, because I’m trying alternative treatments. However, this poses exactly the problem you outlined - every new doc wants to get the entire history so far, and believe it not, they can’t just go and grab it from some common database (even though it’s probably there). So, I have to collect all the papers with me in a folder, and go around with it. I know it’s probably a privileged thing to complain about, but come on, it’s Germany in 2024!
@bastianallgeier LOL. You should try it here in Arkansas. We have a healthcare system designed at every level to prevent anyone from actually accessing health care.
@bastianallgeier Oh maaaan, thats really annoying... the "concept" of digital government is waaaay ahead of implementation mostly everywhere... here, in Spain, a young co-worker had to get car insurance for his first vehicle. Its more expensive for younger people, and progressivly cheaper for older ones. Well, he bought it under the name of his grandpa... who died in 1998. No alarms blinked in the system. It went through. How the hell...?!
@bkastl So absurd. Ich war danach bei ner neuen Apotheke hier. Sie haben ne ziemlich schicke, vollautomatische Sortieranlage und davon läuft ein Video auf nem Screen. Die Besitzerin erzählt mir, dass sie aus Datenschutzgründen aber keinen Livestream davon zeigen dürfen. Also saß ich jetzt gerade in nem vollen Wartezimmer und alle neben mir konnten meine Daten mitlesen, aber der Medikamentenbestand in der Apo um die Ecke ist streng geheim. Genau mein Humor.
