A few months back my GP asked if they could use a transcription thing they were trialling during my consult.

He seemed shocked when I declined.

I just don’t understand why anyone would actually want that?

I want my doctor to listen to what I tell him, and I don’t really want what I say to be used for any other purpose, because no other purpose would be to my benefit.

Next week they’ll be adding to share “basic characteristics” about me with third party “wellness partners”.
