The Slippery Slide

The slippery slope of finding and preserving health care stories has found its way into Sporkworld again.

Look below.  What was a telling tale of rationing medical treatment even to a 4 month-old baby with a rare heart defect — that link has now broken.

That is not all.  Spork Major (aka Millie Niss) wrote of the hazards embedded in the push for electronic medical records in January 2009.

Now — no surprise — it has happened again.  Patients’ unencryted medical records have been stolen, this time in Massachusetts — 13,687 patients’ records to be precise.

Privacy is quickly becoming a myth.
