Health care systems have been putting therapists’ progress reports online, much to the surprise (and anger) of some patients.

One of the last times I went to the dentist years ago, the hygienist pulled up my chart on the computer to show me something. Very first thing that happens when my chart is opened, a big pop-up reading NERVOUS, MENTAL PROBLEMS appears.

The hygienist tried to close it as fast as a kid closing a porn page when their parent comes around. But I saw it.

She was really embarrassed and I was just shocked and felt like shit about it.

I LOVE AMERICAN MEDICINE!

Seriously felt like I was back in "feeble-minded" days of medical diagnosis.
