Sometimes I wish I could start medical treatment all over again under a new identity (for my Idiopathic PN). It would be nice to have a completely fresh start with a fresh perspective, with no chance of bias or reliance on assumptions of previous providers. Doctors are so rushed anymore, it might be easier to just do their own things versus reading through many years of previous, multiple provider notes. I have caught things they have missed or read improperly from past notes, or were just unfortunate mistakes in the dictations in some reports. Heck, I've caught errors and omissions my current doctors have made from visit to visit with them. I know insurance companies don't want to and won't pay for unnecessary duplication, but sometimes I'd like to tell a doctor "Don't tell me what past doctors think, I'd like to hear your own analysis". I have a GI medicine I've been asking to consider stopping, from a now deceased doctor from a state I lived in 15 years ago. Nobody today can confirm exactly why I'm on it and if I need it, and I'm embarrassed to say I have no clue either. But my doctors don't want to change anything because they don't know and there's no need to chance an issue by stopping the medicine! Hence, my wish sometimes to start over with a new medical identity....
