Did your medical records make you laugh??

Here are a couple of exerpts from my chart:

In general, this is a somewhat overweight, white female who appears in her early 30s. She has no gross abnomalities.

Well, at least I'm not gross.  Yay for that! lol

The patient has a good working knowledge of these procedures based on internet research.

Oh, boy, you have noooooo idea!

lol. that's funny.  Now I want to see mine!

 And really, who would go through all this stuff WITHOUT doing extensive internet research.

oh my gosh -- that is too funny.

I don't want to see my records at all -- I'm positive there is something in there about me being incredibly neurotic!

I will be getting my records in the mail soon. It will be interesting to read!

Too funny!!  I'm sure mine say that I talk too much and get ahead of myself.

I had 2 REs and multiple nurses comment that I was "persistent."  I'm just trying to solve the problem!

Mine made me laugh a little but made me really sad.  I read through everything and was like, did I really go through all that cr$p...!

That's hilarious!!!!  Mine have all the editorial comments stripped out when they give them to me so it's just the facts and numbers.  Which I'm glad about, I don't want to read "patient called us crying uncontrollably.  Again."

Yeah, it is pretty sad to see everything you've been through in black and white.  It seems so different when you strip all of the emotions away.

That's what's so crazy...this was part of the dictation summarizing our first consult!!  All of their records are electronic.  I didn't get to see any editorial comments either.  Mine would read "patient cried uncontrollably following 5th follie check after she was told her ovarian response was 'fine'."

I haven't seen any of my "recent" medical records, but we did get copies of everything before we moved.  Most of mine was pediactric stuff, so imagine my surprise when a doctor I saw at age 12 (for migraines) described me as "very well developed"!!  Yes, I was a 34C at the time, but that has no bearing my migraines!!

I'm sure if you read mine without meeting me you would think I'm nuts.  I'm sure it says that I burst into tears every year when my OBGYN asks how I'm doing and if we're still pursuing infertility treatment. 

I did see my delivery notes and the perinatologist said:  "Patient is visibily upset, crying at this time.  Responds to questions appropriately"  Uh, yeah.. You just told me that my baby is still and I'll have to be induced and go through delivery.  No crap I'm crying...     I'm not upset about the comment now, but it is forever burned into my brain.   I don't know if I want to know what's in the rest of my chart!  LOL

Thanks for your kind words, but honestly at this point I'm over it- she was just stating the facts and at least she acknowledged that I was still able to answer questions!  LOL

This! Although it's been warranted
