That's nuts! Ask them if they have ever heard of a photocopier, as in photocopying your insurance card for their records, and asking only annually for an update of that, like every other doctor on the planet??! I would switch doctors on the spot!
If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
- Lyndon Johnson, on signing the Wilderness Act into law (1964)
