I went in for my 6 month visit with my Dr. and we had a very interesting discussion today. They told me that if the Dr. you are seeing walks in with what looks like a cell phone and sets it down on the table next to you they are recording everything that is said in that visit to your chart for "Better patient care and safety" I asked them if this was being done and they said NO I won't do it calling it a HIPA and Dr. Patient privacy issue. They stated that when they asked what happens to this recording the powers that be stated that its erased after the visit at which point both of us went B.S. Supposedly the Dr. you are seeing is supposed to tell you up front that you are being recorded but everyone knows how that goes. If they do tell you and you do not consent then supposedly the Dr. can click the do not record button on your chart screen each time but there is no way for them to truly know that you are not actually being recorded. The Dr. that I saw is currently looking to leave the medical system they are currently with and go private practice. They do not agree with many of the new policies being put into place. Trying to be cryptic as i do not want this somehow to make it back to them but we are in South East Louisiana.
Just a heads up for everyone else out there. Just imagine what these recordings could be used for
🇺🇸 Teenagers are now facing charges after doing a ding-dong ditch prank with a twist. They showed up in masks, wearing tactical gear and a rifle, or what looks like a rifle.
Two #Delaware teenagers, aged 16 and 17, faced charges after knocking on doors in New Castle while wearing tactical-style vests and carrying what appeared to be a rifle, police said.
This could’ve ended so badly..

📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.
I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.
He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.
One statistic really caught my attention.
According to Pilkington, France's inflation-adjusted household food consumption has fallen roughly 6.4% since 2022. He suspects the poorest households have suffered far steeper cuts.
Now add another surge in energy prices.
Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.
His prediction is that the worst food inflation could arrive this winter or next spring.
And there's a political problem sitting right on top of it.
