It can come in handy for sharing memberships

I absolutely did not sign forms when I entered. It was only after I felt the threat of death that I occasionally signed things, and I did not sign anything saying they could release my information to something called MyChart.

Sounds like a lawyer is in order then, as one of those forms may have given them the go ahead. Nobody but those present would necessarily know that you were signing under duress.

And MyChart is simply branding of your electronic medical record. I am not aware of any limitation on converting paper charts into EMR data either. It’s all HIPAA compliant and only those treating you are able to see this data. People lose their jobs regularly for improper EMR access.

And FWIW, I don’t think it’s especially cool to go at someone who seems to be honestly sharing their advice.

In that instance I suggest you email [email protected] and ask them if there is a way for you to opt out of care everywhere through them directly.

Search the website of the Hospital for care everywhere and see if you can find an email contact. They need not know about your experience to assist you, so be general and succinct in requesting help in opting out of the program.

Your message will go to an IT worker, not anyone you would have interacted with clinically.

Not going to tell you not to file a complaint, but I can’t say I’m hopeful any federal agency or regulator will be of much help since they’re now busy chasing windmills like fluoride or vaccines. Perhaps a state agency could help you, but that’s definitely a mixed bag.

Just an FYI, MyChart is a branded property of Epic Systems Corp, a private company based out of Wisconsin. I think you should absolutely have control over your own medical records, but as far as I know, the aspect of MyChart and Epic’s electronic medical records system that allows cross hospital sharing, called Care Everywhere was built to comply with HIPAA.

That doesn’t leave you without any recourse though. I believe you are able to opt out of Care Everywhere. Here’s an example of a random hospital’s information page that describes how you can opt out of their sharing their EMR data outside their organization. The problem here is as far as I know, you would need to work with the old psych hospital that you had such a terrible experience with. I’d try barking up that tree first and seeing if they’ll work with you. From there you might be able to reach out to epic directly to see if they can help.

Good luck, and feel free to ask me anything more. I’m pretty familiar with the general topic

There’s a host of factors, I’ll try to outline the ones I can think off off the top of my head

1. Industrial base: The UK was bombed during WWII, the US was not. That gave the US a production advantage.
2. Natural Resources: The UK was dependent upon many resources from their empire while the US was using a lot of their own domestic resources for production.
3. Decolonialization: the UK’s resource base, as mentioned in the last point, were largely seeking independence in the wake of the war. The US brand of imperialism was more economic in nature than political so they didn’t have the same issue.
4. Population: it’s tough to outproduce a nation that’s 3x the size (UK pop was about 50 million in 1950; the US was roughly 150 million)
5. The Marshall plan. It’s hard to overstate how much of a boon rebuilding Europe was for the American economy.
6. Debt: military goods aren’t cheap. The UK sourced a ton of war material from the US. I just looked it up; the UK made its final WW2 debt payment to the US in 2006. Sheesh!

Be sure to drink your ovaltine

They’re going to talk about all the criminals that have been deported and ignore or minimize those who have been wrongly swept up with no due process. Expect lots of “gotta break some eggs to make an omelette” style rationalization. Lots of myopic focusing on the cost of eggs or gas, probably some “trust the process” hand waving about the chaos of the tariff debacle. Probably some culture war nonsense sprinkled in.

LW is defederated from HB so OP would need to create a new account to post there.

OP, be careful if you decide to go down that route. Hexbear is pretty toxic, imo.
