Does Your Doctor Know Your Past?

Many instances of medical malpractice find their root in communication problems, especially when it comes to medical histories. While the doctor remains ultimately responsible for making a decision regarding your healthcare, treatment and diagnosis, bringing a medical history with you when seeing a new doctor can speed things up and open the communication lines. WikiHow has a great article on going about summarizing your medical history. But, even better, ask your doctor if he has obtained a copy or transfer of your chart from a previous physician.
