SS#s for dentists/doctors

The last Dr I went to asked to see my DL, and before I could say anything, scanned a copy of it, good thing it has a ghost address.
A passport would be much better to have handed over.
On the paperwork I left the SS# blank and they did ask about it, but I just said, You've already verified my coverage, & Ive shown proper ID.
If you're not careful every Dr.s office you've ever been to has:
A: a scan of your Drivers Liscense
B: date of birth,
C: home & work address's & phone #'s,
D: your SS#
all in one neat computer file for someone to hack into, or laying around the office. I recently visited someone in an ICU wing at a hospital and on the counter at the nurses station were several envelopes with the patients name, address, DOB, and SS# clearly visible on the label. As for many places demanding a SS#, I just gotta say, Dyslexia is a terrible thing. Makes it hard to remember a 10 digit number. Having a "ghost" DOB might be usefull also.
