It is very important to have your own medical records these days, more than people in general know.<BR/><BR/>If I am hospitalized I go to the facility and get my records the day I leave (if possible). When I have an MRI or CT, I ask the technician to run my a copy on CD while I am there. I put my fax number on all labwork slips, but usually have to jump through hoops to get the results even though the facility doesn't know it is <I>my own</I> fax number and not the doctors. Eight out of 10 times the results are not sent. I imagine that it happens regularly and people just don't know that the results weren't sent. Crazy stuff.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508518592917445895noreply@blogger.com
