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.
Enterprise /= consumer
This. HIPAA laws in the US are strict and well enforced for enterprise.

Don’t use anything ever, at all, if that’s your take. Almost every business, industry, and sector users windows in some capacity. You cannot avoid it. Your bank uses windows, your local government uses windows, fucking Taco Bell uses windows.
What would you prefer, every company use individual home grown, poorly maintained software?
Every company use only Linux? That’ll create so many more problems.
Go live in a cabin in the woods if you’re this paranoid. Otherwise bank on the fact that regulations surrounding healthcare data are pretty strong and are taken pretty seriously, and Microsoft knows that.
I guess OP never uses ATMs, because I’m pretty sure every ATM I’ve ever seen uses Windows Embedded.

This is just reality. No medical people have secure shit. I’ve worked on hospital services before and they are all security nightmares. The doctor isnt an engineer. Trust the doctor if they know what they are doing. Your data was forfeit because of capitalism not the doctor.
Yes, and? They are not sending your PHI to Microsoft.
Or, if they use Microsoft cloud services like 365 or Azure, where they are sending PHI to Microsoft, Microsoft agrees to follow local healthcare information protection law. In the US, as a business associate, they are a covered entity under HIPAA and must maintain compliance to protect your information.
You trust health care professionals because they save your life and help with your health. We would not survive for long if we trust only people who use graphaneOS and linux lol
