I use a neck loop plugged into a hearing assist receiver with my hearing aids set to Telecoil. This eliminates having to install a Telecoil in the venue, but they must have a hearing assist system. My experience at church services is that sound is substantially better than using the hearing aids by themselves.

The manufacturer of the Therac-25, AECL, did not share customer incident reports with other customers when patients were injured. So, the hospitals believed that their incidents were isolated. This may have been legal, but was highly unethical.

I love having access to my medical information, but the transition will be difficult for the providers. My primary care doctor joined a practice that was already using electronic records because of the requirement for electronic records.
