@cypnk @onepict Why on earth is such a device even in that setting? 🤷🏽‍♂️

@robin @cypnk probably for the music.

But it's not the first horror story I've heard about medical care and doctors exposing patient information with any device in the name of convenience.

Healthcare and surgeries are a minefield for your privacy.

Having developed Software for that field, I totally agree. Most people in that field are very competent in medical issues, but have absolutely no idea when it comes to computer related stuff. It's just magic to them.

@till @robin @cypnk I did a talk at LCA in 2020 about mass data collection, but I also briefly covered the way that various governments and medical care offices are careless and don't safeguard data. I'd got some of the medical anecdotes from someone who is an IT professional in the health industry and it was a constant battle for them.

@till @onepict @robin @cypnk Which points to the nugget of the issue: some computer-related stuff *is* a "medical issue", in an auxiliary sense. Perhaps medical training and education needs to also cover at least some basics there, wrt PHI at least?

@shelldozer @till @onepict @robin That would be the sensible approach, but it probably won't happen for a good while. The medical field is very conservative when it comes to new procedures (for good reasons). And consider that many of the staff are from a time when Amazon didn't exist or were still just selling books
