Because why would you need accuracy in medical paperwork? P’shaw.

I'm a medical professional and I use it in my work. It's good at remembering the details that might otherwise be forgotten. However everything still needs to be manually checked.

I'm not sure if the medical records keeping can get any worse than it already is to be honest. It is borderline impossible to get anything done when despite endless records half the time the medical staff just ask you for your entire life story, only to proceed to not understand it and usually set you back a step or two.

This makes me think of the movie "Brazil".

Hopefully that leads to a silver lining if/when the fascists start to steal medical records and build registries of people with mental illnesses.

It won't. They'll take whatever they can get and act on it, no need for accuracy.
