[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 284745, member: 1991"] Devil's advocate here - he may have run the tests and got the results read to him over the phone, told you the results were OK - but been so slack on his paperwork that he never put them IN the file to begin with. We had a doctor who was like that. He was a really good diagnostician and a nice bloke, but really bad at his paperwork. I had a few allergic reactions to things he put me on; I rang the surgery to say, "I just developed a rash to this, can you make sure it goes in my file?" and the guy never put it in. A year or so later when he sold the practice to another doctor (who turned out to be an old friend of mine) we discovered that no notes had been made about my allergies. And because I had trusted the doctor to write it down, I hadn't made my own notes and so I had to take the antibiotics again, knowing I was going to get a rash with one and throw up with another. After that, I began taking my own notes and asking for photocopies of test results. I would then load the test results into my computer. Marg [/QUOTE]
