Annoying things about #MyHealthRecord:
a) fear-mongering: many of the objections I'm seeing now are absurd
b) ignorance of benefits: there are actually some really great things FOR THE INDIVIDUAL about MHR, but it's lost in a sea of angry yelling
And this idea that doctors are going to be logging on daily to canvas records for fun ignores the fact that IT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE PUNISHABLE BY FINES AND JAIL TIME

Sure they are. But once your confidentiality is gone, it doesn't come back if they throw the book at someone. And punishments that aren't enforced aren't much of a deterrent.

Very true. I liked the point in your article, that it is small comfort if a doctor goes to prison if your life is ruined as a result anyway. But there is also an enormous amount of misinformation out there about how easy it is for health people to just ignore the law
