Not having to remember any telephone number or indeed any number more than five digits since the invasion of the mobile phone our brains are no longer required to remember the semi important medical milestones that someone will ask you when you least suspect it.

IF or should that be when, the rice sized microchip fitted with important medical history is implanted in everyone at birth.  Holding scannable data inside our skin might be open to abuse to everyone "Why did you miss the last appointment sir?" or "You really should be taking your medication Mr Lecture".

So something else that we can store and retrieve when needed and not have to remember.  Just what do we fill our heads with instead of telephone numbers, pin and account numbers, names of family friends and inlaws?
