The Patient Portal—Help or Hindrance?

I too have found several mistakes in my records. I have noted some "cut and paste" by doctors (or their assistants?) from past visits (including other doctors) and the original error gets repeated. I have also noted a difference in "quality of comments" between various networks - like some doctors are just learning to do it. Having complex medical background, I try to be very clear but still see mistakes.

This is scary because minor mistakes could be serious. Like when they show you weight 160 when you are 128 (or something). That could affect the quantity of the medicine you take. One doctor said, "I see you are allergic to aspirin." No, I take one every day. Just continue to monitor your records and be diligent EVERYONE!
