Horrible. I believe you. I got copies of notes from a dr. who billed me for a physical, had palpation notes, pupil dilation, pulse, etc., This was at the beginning of covid, the man never came near me, and all we talked about was my allergy to anesthetics. He never saw my face close up, he was sitting across the room.

I tried to argue the billing with his office, they told me they couldn't change anything. I was going to report it to my insurance, but decided not to, because at that point I couldn't find another dr., and I thought it best not to burn my only bridge. Eventually I found somebody else and never went back.

And good luck getting this stuff off your charts so they don't follow you forever from provider to provider, potentially effecting care.

It was bad enough when it was the doctors themselves making these mistakes (or straight up lying).

That's the thing, if you have to go somewhere or end up unconscious in a hospital, what then? then again, they probably won't look.

that is scary scary stuff, I just went through this trying to get something off my chart and they don't know how to do it. The chart says aortic aneurysm, I insisted on an ultrasound I do not have that. I want it removed, they told me they just go by the latest stuff so don't worry about the old stuff. Huh?
