I had opportunity to read all my medical records when I filed for disability, including the records from my T. There were some minor discrepancies in the medical records but the records from my T and the letter she wrote to Disability were something else again! She seemed to have formed opinions about me that she never discussed with me. Then the clincher appeared in the letter she wrote to the attorney handling my case. She wrote that I "would rather die than to become self-sufficient." That is so far from the truth, I go weak inside just thinking that she would say something like that!! To top it off, she had written a letter to the attorney's secretary that she didn't want me to see the letter. Ha! I didn't see the letter, but the secretary told me what she said! But that's another story...

Yeah, I know. She was probably making it sound that way so that I would get Disability.

At any rate, it's my understanding that here in the States, it's your RIGHT to see your records. I may be wrong. If it's not a right by law, then it should be! It may be that one has to fill out a request/consent. My present doctor would rather that we didn't look at our folders while he's writing in them or just laying in the examining room but I had a doctor that didn't mind in the least.

In your case, I would think that it might be good to compare your journal with your doctor's records.
