Hurray for the doctor who recognizes that electronic medical records sometimes contain medical incorrect information which later physicians and nurses mistakenly believe and rely on to make important (but incorrect) decisions because everyone believes the myth that what's in a computer must be accurate. Hurray for the doctor who has staff validate the accuracy of the information that your wife gave on previous visits, because sometimes the information that patients provide is wrong. Hurray for the doctor who has protocols which express a high standard of information verification to protect his patient and the child she is carrying. If the doctor is as careful and consistent as your question suggests, your wife has chosen a careful and competent doctor.

My wife, JK visited her doctor today, at his office in a NYC hospital. She was interviewed by a sweet young thing who asked her the same questions, that she has been asked on her many visits, questions about her medical history.
Wouldn't it be sensible, time saving and more accurate if her records were available on a protected basis on a computer? It might, dare I say,even be cheaper.
