At least a million data points from 23andMe accounts appear to have been exposed on BreachForums. While the scale of the campaign is unknown, 23andMe says it’s working to verify the data.

    You don’t seem to understand what a systemic issue is if you think this is because of a few ‘local physicians’ or just one case of ‘malpractice’. If you think this is something that can be resolved from looking for ‘one competent doctor’, you have no idea how impossible it is to find a team of 1 PCP and 5 specialists who all happen to give a shit, and what to do when you need to go to the ER which is another hellhole of it’s own.

    You can come back to this discussion when you show some understanding of how extensive this issue is.

      I am speaking from a decade of experience trying to have a correct diagnosis. I dont know how to tell you this, but you are not the first person to have a doctor dismiss them.

      Thats still not an excuse to put yourself further at risk. You can come back to this discussion when you show some understanding of how vastly serious this data breach is.

        Not wanting to die of medical neglect is a reason, not an excuse.

        I don’t need excuses or your permission to not kill myself.

          Man, that is such a bullshit pretend nonsense claim.

          Your only option, the only thing you could do, was sell your data to a data aggregator?

          What a bold faced lie.

            Yeah, so is your ‘decade of experience of trying to get a correct diagnosis’ then.

            What ever doesn’t fit your world view must be a lie to you. What a tough way to live.

              Youre acting like there arent medical, protected systems to challenge malpractice. To require tests that doctors wont advise. To force second and third opinions. To rerun studies and checks to prove signifigance over fluke.

              I know they exist, I had to use them. Acting like your only options were eat a bullet or sell your genome is a lie.
