Reading your own records in detail

[Guest guest]

This is funny;

I use miitary drs, tricare, husb retired military. I read my record

report in detail. It says I am a black female. I obviously confused a

dr. I am Portuguese/ hawaiian with olive complection.

This just goes to show you how ignorant some drs are. WHy do they have

to put that in there anyway (computerized checklist) if they can't ask

that is a questionare, or ask you straight. Why does it need to be

data collected at all?

I will be having an appt on tues for eye dr. I will bet you, I will

get the run around on who can change it.

Sometimes I just get ticked off at drs, or the whole process.

at times it does not seem that they want you healthy, they just want to

shuffle you along and throw meds at you along the way. Do they really

get to know the patients? nah.
