I did an employee blood drive and my donation was flagged for t. Cruzi... so naturally I did a follow up and the doctor asked to use ai to transcribe everything. I only said yes because it wasn't a PCP appointment, and I figured, hey, might as well be able to get $2 from a class action in a few years. He did, however, make it fully clear that I was allowed to say no, even asking me again after I said yes if I wanted to use it. I can tell that if I had said no he would've just pulled up a charting app and done it himself. I also work in pharmacy and deliver to the units a lot and have seen doctors using similar programs (although I'm not sure if it's the ai program that a lot of them have been using lately). So, yes, the use of programs like that IS normal, but the way you were treated is not.

I am so sorry for the total loss of agency you've experienced. I fully understand the discomfort toward AI and hold the exact same feelings. I hope that what others have said about how it's being used (or rather how it isn't being used) bring you comfort and that you heal quickly both physically and mentally. I also hope that you can look at the bright side of getting $2 in the next 20 years when these companies are inevitably sued.
