Additional information that can be helpful to include
It's important to keep your own medical record over time for several reasons:
Sometimes, doctors don't have access to your full chart or won't have time to read it.
Over time, we forget the chronology of what has happened, and the providers we saw.
Including notes about big life events can also be helpful.
Your medical chart is your property. Sometimes you want to have your own notes, so you can amend what's being written about you in your medical chart.
