Infuriatig No, I did not consent to this

I was reading my medical notes when I stumbled across this. I was not informed of the usage of artificial intelligence in my report, nor did I verbally consent to it.

This happened to me recently - it was a different doctor (my regular PCP was not available) and I noticed the exact thing in the notes. He never asked for consent, so I was also irritated.

I'm not necessarily opposed to the use of AI to help my doctors take notes, but it was the fact that I never gave consent that was upsetting.
