Holy shit!... I dread to think what mine reads like?!

Although I am intrigued?.. It might be worth £50 just to see it ; )

 
I think next time I'm at my GP I'd like to see a copy of mine...I'd like to see 1. how messed up they think I am and 2. to see if they think I'm progressing...well within our rights here!

Fuck em.

Are our whole medical histories available to us in the UK?God knows how big the files on me are,had a lot of different doctors all over the country,i hope its free or all that info of mine is going to cost a fair old bit of money,you'd think our own medical records should be free for us,but they'll try and make money from us yet again if they can do.
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.

 
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.

  11. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  12. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  13. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  14. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery

  19. mellowella @ mellowella: I will always remember what you did for me the very first time I donated. I have been waiting to pay that kindness forward.
  20. mellowella @ mellowella: @CalFresh are you and your family safe? You’ve helped me in a pinch and were more than generous, and I’m sure you’ve helped others. How can we help you? Does it help at all if we completely buy out what’s left? Maybe that gives time and funds to restock and rebuild? I don’t want to break any rules here, but please let us know if we can do anything. All on your time of course.
