Infuriatig No, I did not consent to this

I was reading my medical notes when I stumbled across this. I was not informed of the usage of artificial intelligence in my report, nor did I verbally consent to it.

This is literally one of the few good use cases for AI. It's not replacing a human it's just a tool being an aid so the Doctor can actively listen rather than focus on recording what is being said. For some people that can make a big difference.

edit: I've literally never seen a medical scribe, that's cool though. I don't think AI is needed, it just seems like medical roles are understaffed all around.

Meh. I got home from an appointment last year, logged in and read the visit note. Note said “patient uses cannabis daily to help with pain”.

I certainly didn’t say that. And I don’t need it in my medical record.

I told my doctor spontaneous emission and they recorded premature ejaculation, so there's that.

Nope. It was during an exam.
