Was this wrong of me to do today?!
Question: I had to get blood checked at doctors, and was able to have full access to my patient chart for at least 15 min and read top secret info, about myself lol. Than secretary/ nurse came , and said "how did u find your file"? Not mad but suprised i found. The office is closed since doctor retired and all files are on top of counter all over place. I told her that i know what color my file looks like(i've been going since age 7 until 35), i know what it looks like lol.. Holy toledo was i shocked to read reports on myself. I am going to get a summary of my file anyway but doctor might not put everything so glad i got my nose in my own personal chart just incase i never get , and i did pay $100 for my summary so hope its good and detailed like original. One report from shrink from 2007, whom prescribed me venlafaxine stated , 34-yearold female calm, looking her age, well toned voice with prodigy, history etc, logical thinker, orientated, can remeber 3 words after 1 minute and again after 5 mi

A patient always has the right to access his/her own medical charts. Usually you have to go to the medical records department and fill out a form. Sometimes it's not bad to have a medical person with you to explain all of the "doctorspeak" and abbreviations to you. Your stuff about starting venlafaxine is all pretty normal basic psych eval stuff. Nothing to worry about.
