I always show up on time, with cards in hand. I will call before hand to see if they are on schedule, if time is an issue that day and I know they usually make me wait. I go there, expecting some delay. I don't mind it. I set aside enough time to make it less stressful for me.

I don't take any medications, but the few times I have taken meds, the doctor has all that in my file.

Electronic records is here to stay. Get with the program. One of the worst leaks of information is someone's mouth! Yes, patient information is talked about from time to time. I would hope, seldom. The bottom line is that my personal information is so boring that I doubt if anyone even knows my name, let alone care about my circumstances. Information is information - written or typed, it can be leaked. I hope the electronic records theory will make our visit more stream lined and informative for future treatments/visits.

I do not begrudge any money I pay to my doctor. I do have issues with insurance companys and how they handle the claims. I would love to see single payer come to Vermont.
