I'm green w/envy! I just read this post at another apnea support forum.
"A few weeks ago, I was chatting with a desk clerk at my doctor's office about the new computerization they were doing, and she said that test results are not supposed to be a part of your medical record until they are read and put into your record by your doctor. Lab and radiological test results are uploaded by the lab directly to to my doctor's computer system immediately after the test is completed. Currently, those results automatically become part of the patients' medical records -- before the doctor has seen them.
Patients in my GP's office have on-line access to their medical records via a browser (there is a one-time $100 charge to get this access)."
Man! It would be WORTH that ONE TIME $100 to me if my family doctor had that type of setup!!!!
