I received this email recently:
With the big brouhaha over WikiLeaks, isn't anybody concerned about the impending electronic medical record mandate?
If the government cannot protect its valuable secrets, how can physicians guarantee privacy for medical records?
Does "meaningful use" include access to anybody with a computer? I am no expert, but it seems this could be a losing (another expense we have to bear) battle.
from "bombshell"
My response is that I 100% agree with this concern. When people throw out that the WikiLeaks dude (Julian Assange) is just expressing his freedom of speech, I think to myself, how would they like it if their STD info got out on the internet?
