Been telling people for years that you shouldn’t tell your doctor anything you want kept completely private. They always planned to get access for government databases. Plus, healthcare systems are notorious for security breaches.
So what don't tell your doctor your issues and just hope it gets cured.
That's actually one of the most unfortunate parts of this. When you're at the doctor, you're incredibly vulnerable and need care. We shouldn't have a society where people have to censor themselves for privacy reasons, but today we do. The best solution is to push for a state medical privacy law at least as strong as Minnesota's.
