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.

@Thayer JFC I am *so* far past AI replacing people at this stage. Smash the fucking looms.

This further resolves me to never say yes to AI note taking. They really pressure you at this point at the doctors I've gone to. My mom let them do it, and dutifully checked the notes later, where she saw that the AI notes diagnosed her with something that the doctor explicitly said she did NOT have.

@Thayer I'm sorry that's happening to you. What a shitshow. :(

@alisynthesis @rgarner I didn't consent to it. GPs just use it these days. This is an AI summary of a letter that the gynae sent to both me and the doctor. Thankfully I keep all my records in hard copy due to deep medical mistrust, and also my reference. Which seems to have worked out on this occasion!

@Thayer @alisynthesis @rgarner Yup. For some reason my Dr. releases literally all of my records into provider portal and before my last consult there was a note from an "AI prescription evaluator" deciding that I was worthy of not having an aneurysm or losing some toes (lisinopril and metformin).
