> Health records ARE a big part of the product of a doctor
I long for practices that would keep no record of my issues, except what I volunteer to them at the beginning of the consult. Many countries do that just fine, but for some reason in the US I am asked to fill pages on insignificant trivia to cover their ass or follow some weird law or tradition maybe?
I don't want perfect healthcare. Good enough is fine!
So now I just see doctors when traveling. Simpler, faster, and cheaper too.
Hum. So much about healthcare is about trends. How your blood pressure is today vs a month ago matters a lot more than holding up your number to a chart. Having actual good medical history would be super helpful.
