How and Why You Should Review Your Medical Records

You expect your doctor(s) and their staff to be familiar with your medical history. You probably also assume the information in your records is correct.

Unfortunately, errors on your medical records can be hazardous to your health and even your life, so it’s important to give your records a once-over every so often to ensure accuracy. [1]
