“Today I am encouraged to post symptoms on an app called Dr iQ, which is designed to make medical care more efficient. But the app encourages patients to cram symptoms into tick boxes that seem devised expressly to prevent one giving a rich, subjective account of how one is feeling. We are reduced to identikit puppets with identikit symptoms. Quality of care? A tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing.”
