I have a love/hate (mostly hate) with my doctor's online health portal thing. Sure it's nice to be able to go there and see test results and all but sometimes you just don't want to read what they have to say about you. For example my primary care doc described me as "well nourished" in a note (hmmm) and then once after discussing concerns about not being able to lose weight I magically had "obesity" added to my list of concerns. Gee, thanks.
The worst, though, was yesterday! I had a 2nd NT Scan scheduled for yesterday (they had tried last Monday but baby was measuring a little too small to get the measurement) so I logged in to the site to make sure I knew where I was going for the appointment, and noticed that my last visit (where they couldn't get the NT) was titled "PREGNANCY WITH INCONCLUSIVE FETAL VIABILITY" -- UMMM excuse me, WHAT??? I had to remind myself that the doctor had said everything looked fine at the time but boy was I glad to see baby doing backflips at the NT Scan yesterday (which was normal)! I told the doc about it yesterday and he said it was probably a data entry mistake or just the wording they use when they can't complete the test. Either way... wtf!
Anyone else have the online portal thing?? Yay or nay??
Re: Temporary freak out thanks to online doctor portal
Sorry you had to see that!
With DS, I had an ultrasound around 36 weeks I think, because my stomach started measuring smaller. He had dropped, so that's why. But on my online chart it said something like "poor fetal growth". He came out a few weeks later 7 pounds 15 oz, so his growth was just fine!
Maybe it has to do with the insurance billing codes? Maybe they know that insurance is more likely to cover something "serious", so that's how they chart it? I don't know though, I'm not a medical professional.
