Nothing is true if it's not on a piece of paper in Germanys Healthcare System ;) We sadly print through multiple sliced trees in a year. Can't wait for the whole system to be digitalized. There's so much work that could be automated if nobody needs to carry paper around.

Ah! Anecdote; a friend of mine had an issue in Dresden for which they needed his Dutch health records; the Dutch public clinic sent an ambulance with 2 drivers to Dresden to deliver them on a cd. And then left again. The German doctors were absolutely flabbergasted how backward NL was in that regard. They said why don’t they just email an encrypted version? Not allowed. Summer of 2020.
