I did cancel my #WashingtonPost subscription today.
Will I have the guts to also cancel #AmazonPrime and inconvenience myself by not shopping on #Amazon? Will I give up the excellent healthcare I get from #OneMedical?
I don’t know, even though I know personal cost is the difference between easy symbolic gestures and impactful boycotts.
Oh yeah. This is fine. 🙄

Amazon's One Medical is egregiously violating patient #privacy and safety
Caroline O'Donovan: Leaked documents reveal patient safety issues at Amazon’s One Medical: Patient safety issues have increased since One Medical shifted care to a call center staffed by contractors, employees say.
"Since Amazon acquired the primary-care service One Medical, elderly patients have been routed to a call center — staffed partly by contractors with limited training — that failed on more than a dozen occasions to seek immediate attention for callers with urgent symptoms, according to internal documents seen by The Washington Post.
When one patient reported a 'blood clot, pain and swelling,' call center staff scheduled an appointment rather than escalating the matter for medical evaluation, according to a note in an internal incident tracking spreadsheet dated Feb. 19."
