I've been surprised at how far behind the medical industry is concerning records. I figure it is about 20 years out of date.
Examples: Lena's surgeon wants us to have the PCP fax records to her, and my sister is waiting on some test results that are being mailed to her doctor.
Also, there are medical records from my past which are lost forever, or would at least require major work to locate.
So, I was wondering if from now on I could make a point of getting the results of exams or tests myself, and scan them in. It would be simple to have them all in a folder of google docs, with a copy on my iPod touch or future device.
My Intergoogle research shows that I am entitled to all my records, but I'm not sure this effort would be worth it.
