I'm really confused the purpose what this article's purpose is. You first talk about the issues with clinical trials then you throw in a tidbit of you just feeling like putting your medical records on public because you couldn't find many open medical records?

Good feedback, when I initially was diagnosed and wanted to start working on this problem I had no idea what a medical record looked like so I didn't know what the data I'd be working with looked like which can be tricky to do a data project without knowing the data structure :) I just wanted to share mine in case anyone wants to tackle something medical record related in the future they'll be able to see what the data sets they'll be working with may look like!

The clinical trial bit is our specific use of that data
