Wenn man einen Scheißprozess digitalisiert...
Letzte Woche musste ich in einen weit entfernten Teil Berlins, für das Vorgespräch für eine Darmspiegelung. Den Termin hatte ich per Doctolib vereinbart. Im Verlauf des Prozesses bat man mich, die hinterlegten Ananemnesebögen und Einverständniserklärungen herunterzuladen und ausgefüllt hochzuladen.
