Thanks a million for this! Fortunately, I do have my most recent records from my GP, psychiatrist and all my images from my xrays, CT scans and MRIs. I am praying my records from my neurologist and my nerve conduction study records get to me in time 🤞

@mrea and @lioness Well said. A short summary is best. Remember, those of us with significant histories often overwhelm our Dr. and the visit may not go as well as expected. A short 1 page summary is better than 3 pages (which might overwhelm). Be sure to mention current chief complaint(s)/major (and minor symptoms), major impressions from past doctors and tests results from others and current and past meds. This might be a case where less is more. If you give him 50 pages of docs he might not really look them over (sad to say).
