Just discovered part of my HRT has been discontinued due to an AI note taking error. Gynae did not say discontinue, and I have letters to prove it. Now I may have to be without testosterone until this is proven, which may mean another 6 month wait to resee a gynaecologist via NHS. Hopefully my letters will suffice, but currently unclear.

I am beyond furious. Also, wow. Fuck living in this dystopia.

Keep every medical record you get, you're going to need it in this new terrifying timeline.

I’m not sure if this will help, but the same NHS guidelines that require medical practitioners to use this AI transcription nonsense also requires them to accept personal liability for all errors in the transcription. If you remind the doctor of this and give them the opportunity to correct it, they may choose to do this.

@david_chisnall oh that's very good advice thank you. I'm going to work out all this tomorrow when I'm less fuming so I appreciate this.

@tim @Thayer also write to GP - either the GP or you can file a yellow card on the software with the MHRA, and this is crucial for measuring performance in the field. Medication error is a classic and not-infrequent issue.

@Thayer @david_chisnall If they decline to fix it urgently and without good reason then the next magic words are "professional body".
