Understanding Your Medical Record
Medicine is a science of your body, and if the proper information is not collected (this is your medical record) it makes it very difficult to treat you. If your medical records are wrong - or not yours - it can make the difference between life or death. Every body is different so knowing you medically is extremely important. A treatment that might work in one person may need to adjusted for another. Unfortunately, you cannot hide from your biology and chemistry. This means that a complete medical identity is needed. However , your medical identity is just the first part of your medical record. Also needed is your basic medical information and a medical journal (kept by the doctor).
