Hi SarahSweets,

Thanks for the question.

In short, the healthcare system exists to help people. Whether we are talking about mental health, physical health and or elderly, even though healthcare is designed to help people - it unfortunately harms a lot of people too. Like the 3rd leading annual cause of death in the United States has been medical errors... Those types of numbers. It is astronomical.

The big picture mentality is this: We need a healthcare system. Due to the vast amounts of money spent on keeping the healthcare system afloat, as well as the vast amounts of mistakes that are made, there are many things that must take place.

One of these things is alteration of medical records. It is a means of safeguarding professionals if they are to make mistakes. Alteration of medical records is common and normal behavior in healthcare. Even though it is illegal, unethical and corruption - they do it all the time. It is literally normalized deviance.


Many healthcare professionals come to see it as a necessary evil to keep the system afloat and maintain a public facade of do no harm - however, overtime, this kind of behavior leads to a toxic workplace culture rife with abuse and atrocity. Once these healthcare professionals realize they can control the only evidence that exists - it opens the doors to all kinds of bad.

There are many lawsuits against healthcare professionals when they harm someone. IF every healthcare professional was held accountable - there would be an even larger shortage of healthcare workers and the healthcare system would crumble from having to paying out millions for lawsuits. So - the healthcare system operates under parameters that operate above the law. Alteration of medical records are their way of protecting both themselves and their system. It is seen as a necessary evil.

I hope this answers your question. I have personally experienced this in the healthcare system multiple times - it is literally normal behavior for them. They live under the illusion that it is self-preservation. Unfortunately it is the same system that protects them that also allows abuse to go on behind closed doors.

Alteration of medical records can be used to cover-up mistakes, to distort facts and create an ideal defense package in a court of law, to destroy the credibility of a victim and or survivor, and last but not least, to write malicious content such as false diagnosis and or any other creative distortion that is necessary to keep a whistle-blower from speaking up.
