Was at a doctor's office yesterday, and was asked to sign - note they never say "read and sign" - an agreement for the use of "Heidi" software, which was described as "note-taking software" along with the usual marketing fluff.
Of course, it's actually just "AI"-powered transcription software, presumably trained on a bit more medical text / patient files than a general-purpose model.
Independent investigations have shown these medical transcription "agents" result in terrible errors in patient files - some obvious, some not - which could result in brutal outcomes for patients, up to and including death by mistreatment / failure to treat.
So I circled the part that inconspicuously noted you can decline, and crossed out the part listing things you're agreeing to, and wrote "DECLINED" below that. Receptionist didn't blink an eye - so I'm not sure if they actually know handle people declining this (I doubt it). Probably she just checked the box on my file saying I'd signed - and presumably accepted - it.

Một phụ nữ đã phải sống chung với một ống thông niệu quản (sonde JJ) bị bỏ quên trong cơ thể suốt 15 năm. Tình trạng này đã khiến sỏi hình thành và bám dày đặc quanh ống thông ở thận và niệu quản, buộc các bác sĩ phải can thiệp bằng một ca phẫu thuật phức tạp để lấy dị vật ra ngoài.
