674752	2008-06-01 20:28:00	Just got a news feed from PC World Com - Article on Google Health (www.pcworld.com) about Google Health (google.com/health) (Requires Gmail account) - Where you can store your medical records, prescriptions, etc, to use as a personal health information center. Maybe a good thing? I have masses of health related paper documents - minor surgery, appointments, and general documents for my family, and I have always thought about getting direct records from my doctor to store on my PC in a database. Anyone here store/record their medical records (e.g. via email, server upload, or disc copy, etc) directly from their local doctor or health agency? Would their be issues involved in getting personal records from your doctor? Are their internet based medical databases for personal storage?	kahawai chaser (3545)

674755	2008-06-01 22:20:00	OK - Will ask my doctor for a file and possibly ask if he can e-mail or upload to my ISP server. Undecided though about using Google Health, if there are potential privacy web storage issues...	kahawai chaser (3545)
