PSA:

If you are wearing smart glasses and come to the ER, the smart glasses people are going to get a recording of my history, exam, and discussion of your results. You wouldn’t believe how often I unexpectedly find cancer, or syphilis, or other conditions you may not want big tech to immediately be privy to. Meta isn’t subject to medical privacy laws. It also isn’t my job to recognize your camera and give you a heads-up. In fact, big signs in the ER tell you recording is not allowed.

I was thinking, "I should ask if I can quote him as an anonymous ER doctor and share this."

Then I realized it will take until some techie idiot gets a cancer diagnosis in ER, his company fires him under weird circumstances, he tries to sue the company & ER, and the ER lawyers destroy him in court. Then, the journalistic reports spread.

Only then will some of those guys not wear their glasses into the ER. :(

@KatKimbriel hah. Yeah, my guess is that someone’s kid’s healthcare will get recorded and that will be the end of it.

Good chance that would deep six it, too.
