Well yes he did and by the time I had said something along the lines of asking 
whether he meant the health record system nobody used he had. As I finished 
asking my iWatch beeped with a text message showing I had been enrolled which 
surprised him somewhat and me. I suppose I should log into it and see what's 
there. Presumably PDF versions of the reports he gives me. I wonder if I can 
add to it. I don't think I've ever told him I have Raynaud's Syndrome and carry 
TB antibodies. It would be too much to hope that there would be an SGML/RDF 
syntax of some kind to make the whole database useful for research.

There was also some confusion about my appointment which I had made with the 
practices new web interface. They had obviously failed to integrate their 
manual systems with it or taken into account things like leave etc. Apparently 
their technology is Google based and after I mentioned I had a chromebook he 
jocularly offered me a job to sort their systems out. I felt best not to tell 
him that I only have a chromebook because they were so incredibly cheap (via 
Kogan) and a number of my grandchildren used them and I wanted to keep up with 
what they are into. They are good but lack the simplicity of the "share" 
interface used by the iPad  and iPhone. Almost half my 13 grandchildren (and 
all my children and their partners) are on social media of one kind or another.

Cheers
Tony
