No one has ever asked me for a summary. I have been asked for a copy of all their meds and I had a patient tell me she wished she could remember all her diagnoses so she could tell consultants. I produced those documents for those patient. It would be much more useful to me (and save a bunch of paper) if one could select whether they want the CCR to have every diagnosis (active or inactive) and every medication (active or inactive) print out. I think the way it is now is very messy and difficult for patients to understand.

"It's a good thing for a doctor to have prematurely grey hair and itching piles. It makes him appear to know more than he does and gives him an expression of concern which the patient interprets as being on his behalf. "
