A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Your diagnosis are already in a database.
Most hospitals use internal databases to record symptoms, diagnosis and prescription. Which is connected to the internet and is mostly shared with insurance providers and in most cases it's provided to you online too, so you can access it.
The question is who will fill the form(you via pre-written symptoms or your doctor manually) . Regardless of the answer, there will a database to hold that info.
In my country it is illegal to store such records online without my written consent which I have never and will never provide. It is also in most areas illegal even with the written consent. Even if documents get digitized they go from my doctor's office directly to the internal records department. They don't even get transmitted on ethernet or via USB device, outside of the records room, at most they get faxed from the office.
Hospitals are suppose to be very very very strict about this.
How is that any different from just never using the automated online doctor system?
I already don't do that.
I am 70% sure that you are misinterpreting your country laws.
How could they even provide the needed info to the insurance providers(which includes diagnosis and prescription) offline?
Insurance providers and employers as a matter of fact receive no information on diagnosis or prescription. They receive a bill and the employer a note that the employee cannot attend work. This is the way civilized societies operate.
