New doctor and 1,000 new forms to fill out.
 

Thursday I have 3 separate doctor appointments and one is a new cardiologist.

They sent me the forms via email to fill out and there were 8 in total with some being 4-5 pages.

WTF? I'm not applying for a mortgage!

Why can't the medical profession create a universal form with the same 95% they all want?

This is the 2nd time in 3 months I'm filling out all the same shit. Last year in the hospital I think I filled out enough forms to create "War and Peace".

Am I just a cranky old man or does everything get pissed doing the same shit over and over?
:skip:

Man it's so repetitive. :shake:

Yeah, it's bullshit and annoying ! All your stuff should be in a network system. And what's so bad is when you actually get in to see a doctor they seem lost as to your info.

Hope all is well !

Yeah! It's such bullshit that they want to know your health history! Why would a doctor need that to help me?

just pay someone else to fill it out

You boomers realize you can post this kind of inane bullshit on your social media and someone might actually give a shit about it right?

If you didn’t **** hookers you wouldn’t need a syphilis test.

Its almost like healthcare should more universal.......

LMAO

HIPAA basically.

That's a big part of it. Also, there are many different medical record systems that don't communicate with each other.

And as you stated, even if clinics share the same medical record system, they often can't share data because of patient privacy. If they belong to the same health system, they can share information.

All my doctors are in the same system, which makes life so much easier.

I went into CVS Friday to get my flu shot. When I got up to the counter, I was basically being ignored. Finally the old hide says, what do you need. I told her I was there to get punished up with a flu shot. She chimes in in a sarcastic voice, "are you 65 or older?" I told her no and she said, well then we're out! I told her, well then you have yourself a great day there miss charisma, and left.

I drove down the street a couple blocks and went into the Albertsons Pharmacy and reluctantly asked, do you guys have any flu shots? The dude says, yes. He asked if I had ever had the shingles shots and I told him no. I ended up getting the flu shot in the right arm and the shingles shot in the left.

The flu arm feels fine, 100%, the shingles arm feels like it took a round house kick. I mean it's not the end of the world bad, but it's definitely there and from what I hear about shingles, it's a small price to pay. I have to go in for the 2nd shingles shot at the end of December.

The one of many benefits of having St Lukes as our hospital is all forms are shared with any doc in the St Lukes system and you can go online and update/change as needed.

It is BS but it is the way things are nowadays so yeah you are just being grumpy.
