“Welcome, welcome, dear guests to the Roger & Wilonda Hospital Data Charity“, said the host to the assembly. “I’m John S., I’ll be MC for you tonight. Please welcome Ana Paul G., head of the Roger & Wilonda Hospital.”. The crowd applauded as Ana Paul addressed them: “thank you all for being here tonight. As you know, data auction is now our main legal source for financing the hospital. Please, be generous, every zero and one counts !” John S. took a swift look at the guests list while Ana Paul was speaking : mostly insurance company representatives eager to know more about the health of their clients, private and public research labs looking for data to boost their experiments, some individuals who had the cash to keep their health data private, non-profit foundations trying to keep health data safe from the market, .. “Let the show begin”, John smiled and raised the USB key containing the first lot : “yearly health check up files, all gender, aged 45 and more, 1244 files, estimate is 1.2M” The auction went on for over an hour. John’s jokes and smiles gave a light touch to the event and helped keep the prices up. At the end of the auction, after Ana Paul G. announced the gift of anonymised children's health data to a non-profit government approved research facility, John handed the result list to Ana Paul. “412M, that’s a success !” “Thank you” confirmed Ana Paul, “by the way, I was a great fan of your show. Too bad they replaced you with a machine”. “Thanks for saying that, bye” John said as he left Ana Paul went through the list : -data about patients injured in car accidents or domestic violence, sold to Wreckage Repair lawyer company, 12M -data about patients at risk with genetic diseases, sold to Rest Well insurance company, 83M -data about addictions, bought by an anonymous absentee , 23M -and so on, and so on Ana Paul froze when reading : -data files of the employees of the Hospital. “What the f**** ! How could this file end up at the auction ?!” “Ana Paul ? phone call for you” said the automatic assistant Ana Paul picked up the phone and answered with an empty voice “Hello” “Ana Paul G. ?” “Yes” “My name is R.. I am the virtual assistant of the Wiley and Riley financing corporation. We have just repossessed your loans, insurance policies and leasing policies.” “And ?” “We have also acquired your health data file. I think we need to talk” Any resemblance would be a coincidence Please read : Wiley and Riley by Ronald Wrong, Wreckage Repair by Ronald Wrong, Rest Well by Ronald Wrong, Data Charity by Ronald Wrong, Roger & Wilonda Hospital by Ronald Wrong
