Agreed "you are in charge of your health...!!!!
It is really important to read the test reports and doctor's notes now mandated by law to be posted on the Internet. Apart from mistakes in records, the doctors also may not share everything. I research everything to be able to ask questions. It has made a signficant difference in my treatment at least twice.

@vic83 Thank you for reminding our members to read their test reports and provider notes. I do the same and use those documents to frame my questions that I send on the patient portal or ask at my next appointment.

I'd like to suggest a slight correction.

"now mandated by law to be posted on the Internet." I think you mean posted on your confidential patient portal". A patient portal does make use of the Internet but the Internet, as a whole, isn't confidential.
