Now you have an opportunity to throw up the red flag and have them correct any records that might be vital to your healthcare. Other medical providers are reading and relying on these reports; if the reports aren’t corrected, they may make medical care decisions based on them. I’m not talking about nitpicking on typos, but if it’s important, it might help your care teams (and you) to know of errors and get them corrected. I think some systems or offices have a “checklist” of items they’re to report on each visit. If they’ve checked or commented on something non-urgent you don’t believe they examined (like your cognitive, pupils & eyes, lungs & breathing, heart, , edema, lymph nodes, reflexes etc), I’d take the report to your next routine visit and nicely ask how they go about checking them.

LOVE your idea!!! My first visit to a primary care doctor listed a boiler plate visit of things that did not happen. I am taking in the report next time I see him
