PCP records are with our PCP; Cardiology records at cardiologists; Gastroenterologist record with him; Xray and other records with the radiology group. It is very difficult for everyone getting a full picture as things change, every time a new request is ordered by someone. This could lead to duplication as well as wrong prescription, etc.
I asked all of his doctors who should be regulating and monitoring his meds, they all said the one that is most critical to his health, cardiologists in his case.
Ask the doctors, not their staff.
Everytime she sees a new doctor they will ask what medications she is on. If you feel there is something the doctor needs to know write it down so u remember to tell him.
The thing I don't like about the Medical field is when ur in the hospital their Drs. take over. I can never get them to even consult with Moms doctors. I got told, see her PCP when she gets home. I was able to keep them from giving her a test for her kidneys to see if she could tolerate a dye. I told the NP that Mom had one kidney that worked half capacity so no dye. And, the operation was done at that hospital. You need to be your LOs advocate.
