My age.
They wrote eight years younger than I am.
They classified me an anesthesia risk of ASA III, someone with severe systemic disease, which I do not have.
None of this applies to me:
ASA III Substantive functional limitations; One or more moderate to severe diseases. Poorly controlled DM or HTN, COPD, morbid obesity (BMI ≥40), active hepatitis, alcohol dependence or abuse, implanted pacemaker, moderate reduction of ejection fraction, ESRD undergoing regularly scheduled dialysis, history (>3 months) of MI, CVA, TIA, or CAD/stents.

@lilypearl Yes, these are serious errors in your medical record. Thank you for sharing. The medical provider who wrote this report may have confused with another patient but this is never OK. I hope you will pursue getting your medical record amended. Will you come back and let me know what you do and what results you get?
