Oh right, cool. Did it have a public-facing web-portal that you were able to "investigate" and that "Thirty minutes in, I had full read and write access to all patient data".
The level of credulity in these comments is immense.
No, they were complaining about using expensive, overly complicated third-party system that they need like only basic features like keeping text records about visits, and prescriptions and sending invoices to health insurers.
And in some practices you get direct access to your data as a patient.
I mean the story might be fake obviously, but is definitely plausible.
Yeah sure, as a matter of rule, every time I visit any health provider I am always discussing with the medical receptionist: the software they use, the challenges the business as a whole faces, the tensions between insurers and third parties.
Things that absolutely 100% happen everytime I - a tech guy - experiences when I go to the doctor/phyiso-therapist etc... etc... These are discussions that are happening.
Yes in good faith I will one hundred percent no-lie wire you 100AUD if you can prove beyond doubt that you had a discussion like that with a Swiss health provider. Not one that you contrive now after the fact - one that happened before this wager.
Spoiler: you didn't mate and you are full of shit.
There are plenty of small medical practices with 1-2 doctors and a front desk.
