The idea that doctors would not repeat tests already done somewhere else is a fallacy. There is no guarantee that the tests were done correctly and no doctor is going to risk his/her liability . Places like the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo have no respect for what they refer to as the "LMD"...local medical doctor. Patients go to the big medical centers to have problems fixed that were not solved locally .

Somewhere there is a lot of money to be made and it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Insane, I deal with various companies on a daily basis via email. Many times I will email a document and the next day my spam filter will catch 30 - 40 spam messages that I was not receiving before. Many organizations not to even mention personal computers are under the control of criminals who have them full of malware, and can control the machines at their leasure. There can be no reasonable expectations that a persons health records can remain secure in this type of environment.
