If you think that's bad, I've been to multiple medical practices where part of the "standard legal stuff" they want you to sign would have you give them the right to sell your private information and info about your visit to their partners for the purposes of advertising, etc.

This is where you say the word GDPR (if you're in Europe). I've done it to some HR person and subsequently received a long email apology from the (very nervous) boss of the company the day after.

I'm unfortunately not in a country with good privacy laws, would love to be able to do that, though.

those are larger groups likely owned by private equity investors

True private practices are definitely not doing that. they dont even have the financial incentive to make an investment for the legal advice add that statement, to their financial disclosure

I've been to practices belonging to single doctors where I've been asked to sign such waivers.
