Removal of discourteous remarks/misdiagnosis from medical records

Closed 29 signatures

What the petition asks

Too many deaths or extended suffering caused by erroneous comments in medical records. There is also too much focus on psychology as a cop-out diagnosis.
When the patient is later found to have a serious physical illness, the error and misdiagnosis remains in the medical records, along with any discourteous remarks.
The patient is not empowered and can't get the entry removed, only blocked.
