00The other day, I went online to check to see if my medical records were available online. I was shocked to find out they were available to anyone who's interested. So, the conclusion is unfortunately, a lot of [other] people have access to my medical records.02br

00No, you don't need 'other' in your examples. However, consider this.02br
02br
00Some people like Coke. Other people like Pepsi.02br
02br
00Very generally speaking, 'other people' relates to a context involving "more than one set of people".02br
