Why...

Thursday, July 9, 2009 |

...do doctors ( especially those in the primary care sectors ) put all their faith in the crummy ECG printout analyses, which invariably detect "ST depression, possible infarct" even when no such changes exist?

...do I keep seeing GP referral letters which have no documented physical findings? "Giddiness, ?stroke. Please see."

...doesn't anyone bother to check computerized medical records for past histories? The MO should be the one telling me a patient has ischemic heart disease post coronary bypass instead of me digging this up by tracing all the way back to 1999.
