A guy posted a long thread in Mastodon about how a hospital refused him service because he did not install the smartphone app of the hospital/clinic which (IIRC) was exclusively available in Google’s Playstore.

Sorry to say I lost track of the link. If anyone finds the thread, please reply.

(edit) I found the link

@lrvick@mastodon.social – any updates?

Ah, so I guess there would be no updates to the story. Patient walked in the end because the hospital demanded indemnity from late notifications.

Good thing they didn’t sign.

I get corporate legal counsel are worse than fucking vultures, but this is on another level.

*"We tried to fuck you over big-time but it didn’t work out for us. We’re sowwy. Pwetty pwease come back. But sign away your rights to sue for the little fuck-up that we plan to do (not give you proper treatment due to our clear incompetence), or for the big one that we already did".

I hope the former patient gets a huge windfall and the hospital a good knocking down. The vulture getting sacked also has a nice whiff to it.
