If you aren't giving another doctor the records and think there are others somewhere else, I wouldn't bother with doing anything with them or correcting or even reading them?

That the doctor you were seeing and his staff and setup made mistakes and was sloppy shouldn't affect a new doctor's office. Tests from only a little while ago aren't relevant anymore, they'll take their own tests, make their own decisions and mistakes. If a doctor is a 3-letter-word-beginning-with-a, won't matter what "proof" you have or don't have, what you say or don't say, etc. And if the doctor is any good, they could care less about what another doctor said and want to know you, the patient's experience.

I've only cared about records as it's a lot to remember, dates things happened and names of meds tried, etc. I had hospitalizations and didn't do well with some meds. Go with your first instinct wisewoman and close it up/don't bother with it/throw it in the trash or whatever.
