I am at Mayo Clinic. I read the exam reports and the Doctor notes on the Mayo Patient Portal, and then google all the medical terms. That brings up a lot of information including research studies. My primary care doctor in Minneapolis also posts doctor visit notes on MyChart. I understand a lot more that way. But not all practices seem to post Doctor visit notes. It seems it may be policy of the place, but by law they must post exam reports like scans etc. One just has to get set up with their patient portal system and all the exams will be there.
