He Said/She Said (medical record frustration)

I finally got a copy of my current medical file from the neurologists and read through it last night for the first time. My suspicions have been confirmed:

1. Nurse practitioners (the ones who take down your history) only listen to 1/2 what you tell them

2. Doctors don't actually read what the nurse practitioners record

3. Diagnoses are made according to a randomly generated set of test results and a consultation with a psychic monkey
