Heads Up: That Patient Portal May Contain Your Therapy Notes

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!
