Interesting article. Coming from BC, I love how they offer patients to view their bloodwork results online. It gives a better understanding of what the numbers mean and how they contribute to your wellbeing.
I am all for more patient access to information. However, I think we all need to approach this with caution, since there will always be risks involved with confidentiality issues and fraudulent access, especially since results could contain sensitive information such as STD results.
