Yes! Absolutely! And makes me so irritated, mad and frustrated at the lack of attention to important AND significant health-related detail!

At my first dr's visit with a new doctor for me I fot the visit notes at the end of the visit and scanned them, and saw several inaccuracies. The one I recall the most was that (incorrectly) I was a smoker - wrong!!! Not me! ...could affect many things, right? - like insurance rates, and who knows what else?

I pointed it out (politely, of course) and it was removed. But how many people don't read/review these notes? [A lot] ...And what else has been incorrectly/inaccurately put into my record that I may never see but could have impacts? [I, and others, will never know!]

I have come to - with the exception of one upsetting visit - greatly respect my PCP, aside from these mistakes, but there is such a fundamental need for trust in this doctor-patient relationship, and unfortunately - like many, many aspects of our daily lives - this trust is damaged, not cared for, and eventually lost.

The struggle for trust, authenticity and conscientious behavior goes on ...
