Get rid of them.

Fuck, not being able to trust your doctor because some bootlicker in a suit has passed (or is trying to) a law defining your body's natural processes as a potential murder case?
Fuck these fascist Republican scumbags.
- If these fuckers get their way, I will, at some point, start seeing murder cases where the perpetrator is a woman and default to thinking that the charges are bullshit because of this.
  
  Yup, and once they fully ban abortion, birth control is next, followed by taking away womens right to choose if they have kids or not. Meaning all girls will have a set amount of time to have their required number of children, following their first period.

To be fair, you could have the best doctor in the world. The second they enter those dates into the database with the rest of your notes it is out of their hands. The IT department will be responsible for handing over the data.
- The IT department would never be responsible for handing over said data. Backing it up, making sure it was recoverable, sure. But IT would have no actions with such.
  I assume it would be the HR department or the administrators
  
  Legal will tell the IT department to preserve it and hand it over.
- This.
  I have a (well managed) chronic illness. I have to go to lots of doctors at different clinics. All of them are in the habit of just collecting all the information.
  For example, as a patient, there's no benefit to me whatsoever of the doctor being aware of the day and month of my birth. That's just the start though, they have my medical concession id number, addresses, et cetera.
  If you express any reluctance at all, you're made to feel like a pariah. Like a COVID denier or something. For example, there was one clinic I want sure I would continue with, so when I was asked to fill out my details I asked whether it was really necessary given that I might not come on board as a patient, the receptionist and doctor just couldn't understand why I might be reluctant.
  Last time I saw my GP he asked whether he could record our conversation... "it's some AI thing we're trialling". OMFG. Why on earth would I want that? Why would anyone want that? I want my GP who is an actual person to listen to my circumstances and determine the best course of action.
  
  Day and Month of Birth is a basic check to see if you are who you say you are, if you are refusing to give even basic details like that I can see why the medical staff who deal with you would give you confused/annoyed expressions
  
  The AI thing is probably for the doctor to have a summary at the end, notes without needing to type them.

I'm so glad I got sterilized once the RvW info got leaked. I wish I could thank whomever leaked it. In my eyes, they're a hero.

  The Democrats have had decades to ensure abortion access would be guaranteed, but they decided not to and allowed it to be overturned. Both parties were absolutely happy to do nothing and just raise funds over abortion, but the Republicans had to actually try to force a change.
  If there is a pile of brushwood and gasoline containers next to my house, and my husband wants to light it on fire while my mother wants to keep it there, neither of those people is actually trying to make the situation better.

What’s The meme here?
- Red states are obsessed with knowing who is potentially pregnant and increasingly making legislation to punish people who appear pregnant and suddenly aren't (ie, no periods, then abortion, then having a period). Some of that includes reporting that information, apps for tracking have already been caught sharing that info.

I tell every doctor "a few weeks ago" and then when they suggest a date I say yes. So every doctor has a different day lol. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me
- I thought you meant:
  Doctor: “when was your last period?”
  Me: “a few weeks ago.”
  Doctor: “date?”
  Me: yes
  Doctor: great I’ll pick you up at 8
  
  breeding intensifies
- I hope you don't live in an abortion ban state, because that very well could come back to bite you
- Hey if you're on hormonal birth control I think you can just tell them you use the method that gets rid of periods (not taking the placebo week and just continuing with the hormone pills, this is safe if you also just don't want to have periods link)
  I have an iud and besides a short time after having one removed to get pregnant with my daughter haven't had my period in uh, 9 years? I just tell them I don't have a period and haven't in years and they accept that readily
  
  If you live in a deep red state even that info will be used against you. The GOP wants to make women brood sows and any type of birth control is considered murder/going against God's plan.
