[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the notes and I have a lot of them. I think there is a lot of boilerplate that the docs have to check off in order to meet their metrics. Mine have a lot of “patient indicated understanding” “patient indicated she had no further questions at this time” and my favorite “emotional support provided”.

I would not let it keep me from a doctor I really liked but take it as yet another indication that doctors are mired in bureaucracy instead of patient care. [/quote]

I understand that.  I have to write clinically as well because I'm in the medical field myself. It can make you cringe when you read that stuff about yourself.

I'm talking more about inaccuracies - blatant ones. I never told her a former doctor diagnosed the thing she said was diagnosed. It just never happened. And that concerns me because if I go to another doctor in the future, they could see that and think "Patient has a history of x" when I don't.

It sounds like you’re answering your own question. You do not trust her anymore so find a new doctor. It doesn’t matter whether we think you’re overacting or not, it’s about how you move forward w this doctor w the feelings you have about her notes and inaccuracies. [/quote]
