Unfortunately most don’t understand that smoking also interferes with a lot of medications. Especially, mental health meds.

 

if that's the case,,, their Dr. should be informing them of that fact.
I don't see how a patient with mental heath problems .... would be expected to know those things on their own....?????????

 

Most doctors don’t ask, you are supposed to fill it on that form they never read…

 

that's a failing....

 

I agree. Then again when you get 7 minutes with your doc I guess something has to give so it the important info of med history & current info.

 

Isn't that what their laptop record apps are for? Intake fills things out and it should be easy to see in their program? Mine makes me re-affirm all my statuses from the year before eg. vices while they look at the program.

 

Not all use programs, although they should. My mother’s oncologist doesn't (NY State)- something I asked about. My doctors & my dentist does in Florida, the military does. Scripts should be.

 

Our medical records are all online and can be seen through an app.

 

Ditto.

 

I was rather impressed when we had recent cause to call an ambulance. The EMTs had full access to medical records using their tablet.
