The medical practice where I'm enrolled keeps suggesting/pressuring me to sign up to the app - "it's convenient and makes things easier" they say. When I hear these words, I now look beyond the fluffy words they use and try to take a birds eye view as I ask myself "Qui bono" - "Who benefits from this?". Thank you for another informative article.
Thanks Ursula, great insights. It is a shame that the crooks and totalitarians have got into the system from the start, but I think we would be naive to think that it could have been otherwise.
Small is beautiful, seems to be the way for health and government and religion and family etc.
Thank you Ursula. As a health practitioner who has resisted implementing Apps in my practice, it just confirms my hunch. I had an interesting conversation with a locum agency recently who really tried to see Telehealth to me as a solution to our workforce problem. Its a software package with all the gadgets to listen to chest and heart, look inears and at skin rashes or moles. I was told that I as a frontline practitioner am a dying breed and no young professional would be interested in doing work the way i have practiced. It was depressing and concerning. The thinking is that all primary healthcare can be done from a screen, patients will love it, and no discussion around what backdoors are in the software packages. People need to be educated and youre doing a fantastic job.
It’s a clever tactic, eh? Implement mandates (and then blacklists) to get rid of the non-compliant staff. Put extra pressure on existing staff with adverse events fro experimental injections and unsafe treatments. Hire compliant overseas-qualified staff, who have poor language skills. When the healthcare systems are at breaking point, sell the ‘solution’! This App will save you tonnes of time and reduce staff workload. And the patients want it - honest! The BigTech lobbying of NZ Gov via DHA ‘submissions’ and expensive conferences and publications seems very attractive to so many. Until they realise….
GREAT ARTICLE URSULA!!!
