When I carefully read my records, I saw a bunch of random errors. I asked my PCP and surgeon how that happened; they said “probably transcription errors”
I don’t have a lot of faith in the quality of the records
And this is before you realise that your identity may have been incorrectly matched against someone else leading to you having somebody else’s treatment on your record.
It’s not always the healthcare provider at fault here (but must usually be). I’ve been peripherally involved in 2 cases where someone actively pretended to be someone else (one due to a sketchy immigration status and the other was a mental health situation).
