Thank you doctor for such an insightful article. I work hard to find and keep physicians I like and believe offer me the best chance at superior medical care. One of my criteria is this: if a doctor enters the exam room without a working knowledge of my patient chart and starts asking me questions that make it obvious he or she has no clue about my medical history, that’s a hard pass for me. I realize that doctors have a hectic workday but patient and doctor require a common set of knowledge parameters.
