Is this really rarely talked about? In any field you have the leaders having to choose who they listen to. Dunning kruger is real, you have to have a way to separate the overconfident ones from the ones with actual clinical knowledge.

Almost certainly saving the image was a violation of hipaa policy— giving emr records without the proper logging/etc can get the doc fired. The patient had a right to their images, but it’s like anything enterprise, getting it has to go through the proper channels.

You can probably imagine the privacy problems if that image were saved out of the cache directory.

I don’t think criticizing doctors for not knowing you can right click save image as makes any sense because it’s not an important part of their work.
