Chris,
I never put anything really incriminating in the chart. What I write is always true but may not be "liked" by the patient. If they request their chart then, in my experience, they are planning to go elsewhere. I feel the new doctor deserves to know the real problems which have been encountered while I tried to treat this patient.
