Danger in electronic medical data - Achilles Heal?
Just wait for the next big power-grid outage, whether caused by accident, terrorist activity or just plain ol' natural causes like sunspots or whatever. Same for some major outage of the internet.
If I was unconscious or disabled and my primary care physician wasn't available, I'd sure wish that someone still had my dog-eared, dusty medical file sitting on a shelf at the doctor's office or the hospital I've been to on occcasion.
I never thought of it that way before, but I'm glad I carry a card in my wallet that lists my medications and medical issues.
