I went to the doctor for a routine vaccination a couple weeks ago. As I sat in the room I had a perfect view of the computer that the doctor was using to fill out the requisite form. It was a pretty bog standard form with a gazillion fields.

But one thing that stood out is that at least twice when the doctor clicked on a drop-down, tbe computer selected a different option that wasn't even visible in the ~8 item scroll drop-down. The second time it happened the doctor turned around to me with a confused look and I said, "Yup, I totally saw that too, I dunno".

I was unclear if this was just native software (kinda looked like it), or just a really old fashioned website.

Doesn't instill a lot of confidence in me about the safety of my medical data...
