Kaiser Permanente sent my health records to my new primary care physician on a CD. New doctor doesn't have the hardware to deal with that. 🙄

So now I guess I have to find a computer somewhere that has a CD drive so I can save the files onto a thumb drive so my doctor office can actually access them.
This is so stupid.

Seems like someone in the IT department at work should be able to help. You'd think. Maybe.

@DarkAthena I think the only thing we own anymore that can play a disc is our BluRay player, and that won't help with medical records. 😂

@Michigander @APBBlue Fax was also where my mind went. I’m convinced healthcare and Japan solely support that industry’s survival.

I was told by my dr’s office mgr that they continue to use fax because (they believe) it’s more secure than digital communication. 🤷🏽

@APBBlue I had a zip file of 31MB of medical records(over 30 years) when my doctor retired and I was forced to move to Kaiser. They told me to print it out (450 pages) and mail it to a their records department to be scanned. Hell to the no.

@APBBlue Then my new primary care doc told me it didn’t matter because he’d never look at more than the last two years anyway. I’ve had some shit happen prior to two years ago.
