My Personal Health Record Diary in Something Directory

 

Over the years doctors have often asked me if certain medical conditions were present in my family. Many times I would have to answer: I don’t know. If I asked my mother she would reply: After seven children, I can’t remember which one had what, or at what age. I decided that my four daughters should have accurate information on their health as they grew up. So I started keeping records in their individual Baby books. The problem was that these had limited capacity. In very few years I was forced to rely solely on doctors’ records. The convenience and extended hours of the Medi Clinics were a godsend to a working mother. One problem I encountered was the way they were set up. It wasn’t always possible to see the same doctor on every visit. I felt it unreasonable to expect the on-duty doctor to read the entire history of every client for every appointment. What was needed was a simple, convenient record book that the patient could keep up to date, one that could cover a whole lifetime. Surely such a record book existed, I thought. So I began my search and was surprised to find not one. It was out of this experience that the idea for this book was born. I started asking questions of friends, family, doctors and ambulance attendants. Would such a record book be of significant value and in what situations? What information would be the most helpful? I was very encouraged by what I heard. Doctors and emergency staff alike were excited about the prospect of such a personal record. As time can be critical in many emergencies the accessibility of a personal medical history could very well result in a life saved. I designed and printed My Personal Health Record Diary for my family and myself and have recently published it, making it available to you and yours.
