House Calls, #1032, October 4, 2026: We’ll Tell Alexa Everything. Just Don’t Touch the Chart. Our Health Data Stays Home. Everything Else Already Left.

We start with a conversation about privacy. A new poll says Canadians are unsure about the idea of installing American-based A.I. into our healthcare systems, even if those tools made things better for all involved. There is a bit of a dichotomy between your health care data privacy protect by stringent laws and our online world that monitors everything you do especially through your phones and transactions.

Your Calls and Comments:

  • What is a bone density scan and how is it interpreted?
  • A caller muses about returning to paper charts and medical information to prevent hacking of our medical records.
  • The difference between trazodone and Lemborexant (Dayvigo). What are the indications for each and what other means are available to treat insomnia without the need for medications?
