Just wanted you to know had same exact thing happen to me, one of my old drs had portal online to see your last visit results and when I saw couldnt believe it...Mine was a disease I never even heard of , and Im not really sure what is wrong!!! Yikes funny I think not!! Kinda scarey right? jacki

So I told this joke to my AMAZING surgeon when describing my GP..

What do you call the guy that graduated LAST in med school?

He said Doc.. i said.. MY DOC...

Lucky for me I have a fantastic group now who work together to help me.. surgeon, neuro, endocrionologist and a have an ENT in there too to help with my ongoing voice issues... did my thyroid surgery. Got a great group now, but these notes are almost.. again almost.. funny....

i keep him cuz he is local ... hes an idiot....oh the stories i could telll.. ajnd jackie some day .. we are local enough that we wll tell those stories over some COCKTAILS... or mocktails.. im not picky...

And for,"??????????????????," they still collect a fee. I wanted to see a particular neuro, but he was not accepting my insurance at the time. Thinking I might pay out of my own very shallow pockets, just to have him examine me at least one time, I inquired as to his fee. He collects $960/visit.... Talk about swallowing problems!!!!!!!!!

As Happpy guy said ???????? Things that make you say , " hmmmm as I say and I'm willing to bet many on this blog could carry themselves in a mg capacity and not charge $ 960 "without " insurance . I think many of us choose the wrong field and agree there are many stories to tell .

Wow... it's shocking what doctors will write in their notes. I'm sorry that your doctor was such a crASS individual.

Now, because I am a medical professional I have a slightly different view. I want to point out that doctors are only human and more importantly, science is never perfect.. I personally, would prefer a doctor that says that he/she doesn't know what's wrong than someone who pretends to. They do more harm than good chasing the wrong diagnosis and trying meds/therapies that can worsen your MG and your long term chances of remission.

Honestly, many doctors didn't consider what they wrote in charts because it's rarely seen by anyone but other practitioners. Unless your doctor is between the ages of 30 and 40 yrs old, most never saw the "electronic age" taking over that particular aspect of business. Sad huh?

I wish that they all had the brain power to know that just because it's in your head, doesn't mean that you write it down. Hopefully you've all got much better doctors now and you are no worse for wear. Hugs...
