They won't send medical documents by any other method except the mail unless it is considered a medical emergency (I think that means you have to be dying)in which case, the fax it. I wish these medical [keep it clean please] could figure out how to make a secure method of sending medical papers, perhaps with encryption. I find it hard to believe that there is not a way, I think they are just to apathetic to do anything to help people, they're making enough money as it is, I guess they're in no hurry to have my business. :'( It has currently been 1 month and 13 days since I have been medicated.

If someone listens to medical info with a radio, they learn one piece of medical information about one person. If someone gets a nurse's user name and password, they can compromise every medical record about every patient that the hospital has.
