@raggedyanne You are so right! Everyone should obtain and keep copies of their medical records, and review them carefully to see if their doctor's not got his or her facts wrong, because it happens all the time. I also strongly encourage everyone to prepare a memorandum they give to every one of their doctors for inclusion in their file that details their history and pre-existing medical conditions before the onset of the condition for which they are seeking treatment. If that memo is in your medical record, then your doctor is charged with knowledge of its contents.
