Well, you know what?

Medical ID theft is important.

I mean, in all seriousness.

I mean, the real issue at hand is that, let's say, God forbid, you need a kidney transplant.

And somebody uses your medical ID, your information, in order to get that kidney transplant.

And then you go, then you're like, okay, I need my kidney.

They're like, no, no, no, we already did that.

And you're like, whoa, wasn't me, not at all.

And so that's the big thing.

But as far as this change healthcare breach that you talked about, 192.7 million Americans, three out of four Americans got hit by that.

It's so easy for us to become complacent because it seems like every other day there's another data breach.

But let's talk about the doctor and using AI.

About 30% of all physicians are using what's called AI scribe.

So when you go to the doctor, they are recording everything that you say.

I mean, so you may go in for just a general physical and then they ask you about how much alcohol you're drinking, if you're having sex or whatever it may be, and you start talking about everything, all that is going right into your record.

Okay.

And, and, and, you know, you may still tell your your regular doctor that, but maybe you wouldn't.

Now you can, like you said, you can absolutely say, say no.

And you can also ask, like, what type of AI scribe tool are you using?

How long is my recording being stored for?
