    Data Privacy in the Dominican Republic

    Privacy in the Dominican Republic
    Privacy? Never heard of it. What is that?
    A galactic nightmare for me. I am always so concerned about data protection, do what is possible as a user. It's already an abomination for me to have to communicate via WhatsApp. People don't use other platforms.

    But to get my x-rays, lab results and CT's via WhatsApp???
    I was utterly flabbergasted!
    Never mind, I can't get upset about it anymore.

    Today I went to the clinic for a checkup. I was waiting. In front of me a doctor was talking to his patient about the results of her gastroscopy... Pffff

    The interesting thing is that doctors also communicate with their patients via WhatsApp. In the hospital, after the hospital. The doctors are also after discharge in contact with patients.
    I can ask my doctor a quick question, tell her something. She asks how I'm doing. I find it quite efficient!

    I imagine that admissions and emergencies are reduced this way.

    The whole hospital stay was traumatic. I am now recovering on the beach.

    End.
