Secretly photographing notes makes no sense when a physician can obtain them in a matter of hours legally. If you have this much suspicion of your therapist, contact the licensing board and state your case. Let them LEGALLY investigate.

Thank you for your response,
In bold: This is not correct. In Canada it is perfectly legal to record someone so long as you yourself give yourself permission to do so. It is called the one party consent law.
Also - it is not paranoid. How is this paranoid? There is nothing paranoid about this it is a means of protecting oneself, is it not?
Alteration of medical records is a cultural and systemic issue in healthcare. It happens very often and a lot of the time you cannot prove it because there are safeguards written in digital software to allow IT technicians to erase remnants of original documents. It is also very common to shred and create new documents in healthcare.
