She Said "Don’t Write That Down." The Doctor Did Anyway.

Why doesn’t your doctor’s office feel like a safe place anymore?

Most people assume their medical conversations are private. But in the U.S., the moment your doctor enters something into your Electronic Health Record (EHR), it can be legally shared with over 2.2 million entities—often without your knowledge or consent.

Did you know there are financial incentives for providers to collect as much data as possible? That’s why they often document details that have nothing to do with your care that day. And if you ask your doctor not to include something in your record? You’ll likely be treated as the difficult one—for simply wanting privacy.

Because privacy is no longer the default. The default is feeding your most sensitive information into an opaque system designed to share it with a vast, invisible network of third parties.

In this short video, I share a real story from one of our NBTV members who tried to protect her privacy—and was overruled. It’s a revealing look at how medical data is handled, and how little control patients actually have.

If you’ve ever felt uneasy during a checkup, this might explain why.

You should be able to go to the doctor and share what’s relevant without wondering who’s going to have access to that information later. The exam room should feel safe, but right now, it doesn’t. That needs to change.
