    Honestly the whole before/after nude photo aspect of plastic surgery feels so weird even if they’re never hacked. No other doctors do this with photos. And I get it, portfolio and all that, but at least offer a discount of something. But everyone? For medical reasons? Not even just kinda creepy, that’s meaningfully creepy. And as made evident by this breach, not even a little surprising that they have substandard information security policies. Anybody at the office could probably get access to the shared folder they probably stuff these into. And the doctor’s kids all probably know his crappy password that never changes. So so so many ways this could and will go wrong.

      How do you track and improve impact and quality of work without before and after documentation?

        Notes? Close-up wound/scar photos? Any number of ways every other doctor manages to handle it?
