Be Your Own Medical Record: Information Is Power
It started as a professional curiosity, but now it has become a habit, and I recommend it to everyone. Maintain your own medical record.
I’ve found this helps me better understand what is going on with my own health and it also makes it easier to communicate amongst the various healthcare practitioners you may see over the years.
For example, I recently went for a DEXA scan for bone density. It’s something that is recommended for women, and especially for women with bone issues. My GYN ordered the test, and when I went to have it done, I asked the technician for a copy of the scan and she printed it out right then and there. I did the same thing when I had some 3D dental x-rays taken a few months ago. It made it easy for me to get second opinions, and eliminate potential unnecessary over-exposure with another x-ray.
I suggest maintaining copies of all your blood results too. This can help you when you are doing your own research into health related topics, be it research into traditional or alternative medical topics.
You may also want to consider doing this for any children or relatives for whom you have, or may have, responsibility for. For example, if an elderly relative were suddenly in need of medical care, would you be able to provide a list of their medications to emergency responders?
The bottom line, in today’s healthcare arena, we all need to be pro-active in taking care of our health and the health of our loved ones. As in many other areas of life, information is power!
