[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctor wrote that a former doctor of mine diagnosed something that was never diagnosed. It's not a huge deal, but it is annoying. She also wrote several other inaccuracies.

Also wrote things like "Educated the patient on the Mediterranean diet" when I told my doctor that's the diet I've been following for the past few years. She didn't educate me on it, just agreed that it's a great diet to follow.

I have slightly elevated cholesterol and this is nothing new. I've been following this diet for a long time and my cholesterol lowered by 20 points in my most recent labs. (I'm 20 points over what I should be in my overall cholesterol). She didn't even note "Your cholesterol is down from the last time." Just said "Your cholesterol is high, but not high enough to start medications." I'm 80 points below what it would be to actually start a medication.

She is a newer doctor and the way the notes were written, it seems like she's trying to boost herself up in the notes. I don't feel comfortable with this doctor anymore. On one hand, the inaccuracies were not a huge deal but it makes me feel less secure with her. Would you feel this way or am I overreacting? I feel like if I were to have a major medical issue, I wouldn't feel confident with her.[/quote]
You fire this doctor. Done.[/quote]
