either you didn't need it and your subconscious brain figured out a better way. OR you most certainly need it and you had a nightmare about it going horribly wrong in production. So bad in fact that you blocked that memory and how to fix it. So now you will live the nightmare.
I bet it is option #1.

This is why you should write comments first. Or at least that is how the fairy tales tell it...

I find it helpful to write comments first, sometimes. It helps me think through the algorithm, and then it helps me complete it if I become distracted or have to leave the project for any reason and come back to it later.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

But before you try it, read to the end ...
Accidentally used WINKEY + NUM+ and discovered it zooms in on the active object on your screen - the browser, say, or VS. And WINKEY + NUM- moves teh zoomed bit around.
But ... it doesn't work at all usefully on multiple monitors since it counts it as one huge screen with gaps in ... 
So you're going to need this bit: WINKEY + ESC to exit.
If you read this far, that is ...

So glad I use a keyboard with no WINKEY.

I've always wondered why they put the WINKEY next to the CTRL and ALT keys. Why not just place it up with the function keys. I always end up hitting the WINKEY by accident when playing games causing the game to minimize screwing up the frame rate of the game when I bring the game back into focus.

Because WinKey is used as a modifier, just like Shift, Ctrl, and Alt. Historically those keys have been located near the bottom left and bottom right corners of the keyboard.

One of my gaming keyboards, a Logi g510s, has this nice winkey enable/disable slider. It didn't take long to find out how useful it is, but I do miss out on inadvertently discovering new winkey hotkeys.

I tried it on one of my Win7 machines and it just brings up a zoom tool window. WINKEY + NUM- shrinks it, WINKY + ESC closes it. Quite handy that way - why did they change it for WIN10? Odd!

As far as I can tell, it's just a shortcut to launching the magnifier utility that's existed since...well, I'm too lazy to look it up...I never use it.

I read your post and it was an OMG!

I hope they realize that they are then responsible for following HIPAA regulations as to all patient data, and can be severely fined (see below) for each record if any of that data is released. Greed knows no bounds.
'HIPAA violations are expensive. The penalties for noncompliance are based on the level of negligence and can range from $100 to $50,000 per violation (or per record), with a maximum penalty of $1.5 million per year for violations of an identical provision.'

Hah! That's trivial pocket change.
You want a real fine? Break GDPR regulations: The UK GDPR and DPA 2018 set a maximum fine of £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover – whichever is greater – for infringements.
The Eu will fine you the same amount (depending on currency fluctuations), depending on the severity. A less serious breach gets you a lower fine:
The less severe infringements could result in a fine of up to €10 million, or 2% of the firm’s worldwide annual revenue from the preceding financial year, whichever amount is higher. They include any violation of the articles governing:

[edit]
I just checked, and ... :gulp:
For Google, based on the last years financial statement, that 4% fine is £5,131,143,628 - 5 Billion pounds, or 7.25 Billion dollars US ...

Yes, that's high. But remember that it $50,000 per record. Do have any idea how many records (multiple per patient) that is, and the number of patients they are talking about?

Data is google's business. It doesn't always have to be about greed.

FTFW. Which should now answer the obvious follow-up question, which is why they're collecting that data.
It is all about greed.
I'm going to assume you're not really believing they're a benevolent company.

No, they are a data company. They make data useful. Yes, they also run ads.
No, google is a corrupt company.
Stop assuming things.

They'd make no money if they didn't do anything with that data. It's their selling of that data, to advertisers, that keeps Google in business. They're an advertising company, no matter what Kool-Aid you're apparently drinking.
Here's an interesting (and relatively recent) article that a quick, ahem, google search came up with:
https://blog.smei.org/google-search-engine-advertising-company/
SMEI calls itself a "worldwide professional association for sales & marketing". You'd think they'd choose their words in such an article rather carefully.
