The nyu #mychart #biometrics #amazon thing is so scummy. You show up for a doctor appt, you try to check in at a kiosk.. You go through a few screens, then it asks you to sign up with no other options other than an X at the top of the screen. Clicking the X logs you out, so you're not checked in.

Apparently you need to first click the signup button, *then* you can refuse without canceling check in. A hostile UI intended to give amazon everyone's biometrics.

Because of the current contract dispute between #UCSF & #BlueShield, I have had to make plans to get a new #PCP & have been spending a few days gathering & organizing my #MedicalRecords, including significant medical procedures, blood test results, vaccinations & medications.

The appointment with my new prospective PCP is this coming Friday but I've got an appointment with another prospective PCP in Sep. Might as well make use of my PPO insurance coverage.

Most of this info was readily available on #MyChart but I had to spend a few hours sorting thru old #MedicalRecords. Good thing I'm a #PaperHoarder or all of that info would have been lost but there's a lot of detritus in the files that still need to be purged. 🤷‍♂️

I can't be the only one who loves seeing #netflix & #mychart having similar if not identical outage spikes.

And by love I mean hate.

I'm trying to get my PCSK9 inhibitor here prior to my trip to Canada. I put in the order today, then I go take a nap, and I get a call while I'm napping. (Great timing there, but they get a pass.)

I knew what it was. My old credit card expired. I got a new card. I need to update the information.

* I try going to MyChart. There is NO PLACE TO CHANGE IT THERE!!!! I swear I searched in the search field. I clicked here and there. If there is a place to change it there, they've hidden it well. I don't care how you cut it. This is not good design. This is where we should be able to do it, but "haha! screw you, patient!"  

* I call. Someone answers. I tell them what I want. They ask for my name and the call gets dropped.    

* I call again. Someone answers. I tell them what I want. I'm put on hold because they have to go into the basement behind the door that says "beware of the tiger." Then she's back, but now she cannot bloody hear me.  She says there's phone lag. She puts me on hold again. Then she comes back, and she can FINALLY take my credit card information.

Thank you, Johns Hopkins, for making this a "painless" procedure. Thank you for forcing me to make a phone call. Thank you for making a mess of my phone calls.

World-class medicine! Yep, they saved my life, but good grief!

"I got a postcard in the mail from a class action lawsuit settlement administration company saying that if I used the #MyChart system between February 1st, 2017 and January 22nd, 2022, they were sending analytics data to #Facebook.If I wanted Facebook to know my medical history, I would use Facebook. 😒"
