Yup, you nailed that : people are rubbish at proper document handling and storage. Oh sure, there' the odd exception - like my wife actually, but generally speaking papers are to be stuffed in a closet and forgotten, or judged useless and thrown out. Medical records ? Why would I keep a five-year old bill from my local pharmacist ?
Medical documents are much better in the hands of medical professionals. That does not include Google, even if they hire a "Chief Medical Officer". Is that person even a doctor ? Well I'll be damned, she is. And the head of Google Health is as well. I hope that's a good sign, but that still doesn't make Google a medical company.
