It has less to do with "false modesty" and more to do with the fact that a recording of you is being sent somewhere, probably a Google server, which leaves the door open for someone to get a hold of it. That doesn't concern you at all?



Your medical records would be far more secure on Google's servers than almost any hospital server.


That kind of information should never, ever leave the hospital/doctor's office LAN in the first place.


Don't records and info need to be available to other medical personnel? What if you have to go to your local hospital? Having all that info on your doctor's office lan won't help you at a potentially crucial time. Or am I missing something?


Unfortunately it can and it will. At this point in time, while the best option would be not to get recorded in the first place, I'd trust Google servers much more than anything a hospital deployed with help of random contractors.


How does that make any sense?

So when you go to another hospital, your records should be unavailable?


In the US, a lot of the time you can digitally access your records yourself
