Your Dr would probably give you a copy for free. Mine did.
Just for the record, I've been hospitalised 3 times and none of my GPs knew. Also, when I registered with a new practice after finishing university I asked if the GP seeing me could see my records and he said no, that I would have to provide details of my previous practice for him to obtain them.johnnog said:

You should be able to access your medical records online for free at any surgery. All I needed for my surgery was 3 pieces of ID, 2 must be photo and 1 proof of address like a bill. I can go online and view all the problems, records, consultations, letters to hospital and back, lab results etc, plus I can also order my meds online. It's open to anyone and it's free, it's just not advertised widely but they must allow you unless you're registered as a danger or they consider there's information that may be detrimental to your health. Otherwise stand up for your rights!
I got a decision not to do a knee arthroscopy following a GP concern, overturned based on a BS letter the person who examined me at the hospital wrote. I was fortunate to have a witness with me during the discussion and the letter to my GP was nothing like our conversation. We both wrote to the GP who re-referred me after hearing what we had to say and I had the arthroscopy done within a month and all is well now. The guy at the hospital obviously didn't know I could read his letter, having access to your medical records is a real eye opener, but you take the good with the bad. Sometimes when you're getting the runaround from Consultant's secretaries etc, its handy to drop "I did read in Mr Consultant X letter to my GP that................". It seems to change their attitude. Everyone should access their medical records and be free of the hidden BS!!!

Actually here in the US some docs and psychs do not use the same network. A lot independent software sales companies made a lot of money hiring programmers to write medical record keeping programs that were far and above better than when the gov't tried to link EPIC across the USA.
Now the PMP is an entirely different animal. That's here to stay.

I know this is an old topic, but this info applies at my GP practice right now; 'The Patient' can request access to their medical records held online,. For me, I requested access via an online form for review. Within a couple of weeks I got confirmation that I WOULD be able to access my held records over secure connection from my/any computer, I was given login credetials to use.
There was a warning to be mindful of things like 'test results', which could be available before anybody had informed me.
I found the records to be very complete, but it's my understanding they are reviewed prior to release to prevent disclosure of anything with potential to harm.
I've already found use for this, as I could copy & print something needed for a claim, saving the need of applying-to/paying GP to do this.
I'd bear in mind that often doctors' comment are based on their perception of what's going on, & that often gets taken as faact by the next, without a single test being done... so reading too-much can be frustrating at times, so probably best to just use sparingly & with specific purpose.

- L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
- L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy

Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.

I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.

Maelstrom:
I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
- R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola

Maelstrom:
Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
- R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award

Maelstrom:
I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
- R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
- R @ Royboy99: It’s all evident in memory recall, my emails, meetings, … people invest everything they have in a nootropic that provides this… desperately searching without success and it’s right there right under their nose (no pun) … stigmatized by society and outlawed.
- R @ Royboy99: Now I’m not foolish or delusional to think that it made Edison who he was … it just allowed him to Edison to Edison to a greater degree … and I see it doing that for me and others who use it as a productive tool and not a substance of abuse.. you can look at this data with the level of patents filed by Edison during that time … comparable to Barry bonds or McGuire breaking records while they were subtly enhanced
- R @ Royboy99: One could argue that we would not have motion pictures if it wasn’t for ❄️
- R @ Royboy99: I also take month long breaks and replace with Ritalin for receptor recovery
- R @ Royboy99: And while it may sound insane and completely destructive … small microdoses of ❄️ has really transformed me. I did extensive research on its use by Edison, the pope at the time, and many others who got great benefit from a wine concoction called vin Mariani … this subtle enhancement changed the world and as long its used with a high degree of control, it’s amazing. you may think I’m crazy … but I’m just being as transparent as I can
- R @ Royboy99: I’ve grown to realize that my time is finite and Im only getting older… I’m back to relying on small PRN doses of FDA trialed BZDs and it’s made tremendous improvements to my quality of life. I just need to get out there more and meet someone new, it’s the only piece that’s missing since I’ve managed to get it together
- R @ Royboy99: @LatsDoodis: thanks brother … I’ve spent months trying to put myself in uncomfortable places to grow stronger. Hours of research, thousands on supplements, therapy etc …

@Royboy99 You’re not yet lost. Cut them losses and do what you don’t want to do. Take the boring, shameful, nerve racking way out. It’s the only road back to balance. When you’re ready, you’ll do it. Hit me up if you want support quitting. This ain’t worth your life!
- R @ Royboy99: Grateful that this site exists and realizing that trying to save a few bucks today may cost me so much more in the future …
- R @ Royboy99: The hardest hit was losing my girl , and I still feel the tremendous heartache everyday, over a year later … knowing that I caused it all. She gave me multiple chances and I let her down everytime … I use Diaz and kpins going on year now for my panic attacks, ptsd and anxiety. With no issues and see a therapist weekly
