Just a tad bit of information for each and every one of you to think about.. I was first introduced to the idea a few years ago upon a repetitive doctors appointment. In Canada, you are legally allowed to your own medical information, including test results and history. Before I became sick, I was unaware of the importance involved with taking charge of your own health care. Most doctors look at a prepared patient, in a better light then one which is not prepared. I had no idea, until i started doing my research. As a Canadian citizen, I am allowed to obtain copies of every single medical test that has ever been preformed on me. With photocopies of all my test results, I have created a binder full of important health related information which I take to all of my specialist appointments. Categorized, I have different sections for each individual issue; test results, symptoms, medications, ect.. I'm not saying it's something all of you have to hurry and run out to do, but it's definitely an idea for each and every one of you to consider. It may not be for everyone but it is definitely a good way to keep track of all your health care information..
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask!
Talk to you soon...
