You fill out all those forms on your computer and then show up and then they hand you the papers to fill out with the same information. Then they give YOU the elder’s competency test.
Like most of the medical system, it creaks along. With so much hacking, a nationwide medical database that any medical facility could access would be a juicy target.
One of my first decrees as president would be to outlaw the above nonsense. A doctor’s office can only ask you ONCE for each piece of info, such as your name, the date, social security number, signature/initial, etc. If you have to sign a waiver, it must be readable in under 5 minutes, and fit on a single page. Any office found to violate these measures would be severely penalized, and the funds remitted to the patients.

I cut the tip of my thumb off and the emergency clinic wanted me to fill out paperwork with my hand wrapped in bloody towels!

At our local doc in a box, you just scan your drivers license and all of your information pops up.

Then after six months to a year you have to do it all over again because the information in their system needs updating.

She should also request a photo ID since that’s not Eno, just a rough facsimile of him.
