Electronic records are subject to hackers. Even the largest corporations get hacked and your doctor will not invest in the expertise it will take to make their networks as safe a s possible. Even if they did there is not guarantee that someone will not breach their network.
Who cares about your STD or hemorrhoids anyway.
Even though the government knows that it will be impossible to secure everyone's medical records they still insist that doctors go electronic.
