People say to me go look for it and I can only see the absurd of proprietary software that they use, such windows, Microsoft word, outlook etc.

These are all spyware, talking to a health care professionals is talking with Microsoft too.

If it's good enough for the NSA and other paranoid intelligence agencies and military, I think it's good enough for our healthcare orgs.
