    But does your medical clinic do?

    No, they don’t, and it pisses me off. Every time I see it, I think, Well, there goes my medical privacy.

    But where else can I go? There’s only one health company in town, and they bought all the doctor’s offices.

    Who can I complain to? The doctors and nurses are visibly frustrated with Windows every time I see them use it. If they can’t change it, how could I?

      That ship has sailed anyway. I’ve had no less than 5 breach notifications show up in the mail from things related to my health care in the last 2 years, and it’s not like I’m constantly at the doctor. The whole system is a disaster.

      They might not know there are alternatives. So they likely do not ccomplain to their IT person.

      Dont be a “jUsT uSe LiNuX” guy, but when you see them frustrated maybe say “hey I see you are frustrated as well and I as a patient are concerned about my medical data privacy. You know there are better and safer alternatives, maybe you could ask your IT if it would be possible to switch to Linux?”

      Realistically, they can’t switch because the software to use some $€1m medical device only runs on windows.
