The only medical records I read were those of the pain specialist I had. By the end, I thought he was a jerk & if I had read the records earlier, I would have known what I found out much earlier & wouldn't have let it go that far....his opinions were so way off reality & what I was going through with the migraines. I may be very different with pain because it seems like no one believes that the pain could be that bad. It is very subjective. I wouldn't think that other situations would be that different, but maybe pdocs & psychologists can be better. I think it would be very interesting to read those records of my pdoc & psychologist....it might provide some insight into my thinking that I just don't see.

I really wish I could read the records of the surgeon that was for my mother before she died...bet there was much more in them than what he was willing to tell anyone....he would never admit to anything but "I got it all". I knew it wasn't true months before I ever found out the truth.....but even the truth was always just a gut feeling that I knew was real. She never did know the truth before she no longer had the cognitive ability to understand.

Wonder what they really do put into some records,
Debbie
