My medical records were collected for my disability application 20 years ago. There were two big binders worth. I was stunned by one of the psychiatric assessments. It was so insightful! The doctor was a superb writer! He saw me so clearly and described me so well! He really paid attention! At the time, i dismissed him as passive. Then he wrote this astonishingly sensitive assessment! It was the only worthwhile thing in the whole collection.

I was destitute and off meds when i was interviewed by him. Off meds i am just one big run-on sentence. He wrote, "She spoke in an overly-detailed great flow of words that was sometimes difficult to interrupt." Haha! So true but nobody had the courage to say such a thing!

He wrote, "Her intelligence, which is her big advantage, may also be a disadvantage as she may outsmart any therapeutic endeavor." Lol! He's so right! If i don't want to do something i'll research it and turn it inside out until i have a reason not to do it!

So it was worth reading my records just to see that one assessment which i treasure.

But sharing them with your husband? No. They are your personal and private records.
