Normal is noted on the after visit report

How many of you feel the after visit report being marked normal is incorrect?

A recent visit to my urologist, the notes on the visit said normal penis and testicles. I certainly don't think hypogonadism is normal, I have the testicles of a child. Does anybody else get this type of information?

If you think the report is wrong, or something was missed. Ask your doc.

A urologist noted on his report that he could retract my foreskin normally, but I am circumcised.

I also experienced the opposite, a cardiologist told me that everything was normal after the examination, while the report contains the description of anomalies.

Last year I saw a neurosurgeon to eval my cervical spine. In his electronic exam notes he said I had no signs of clonus yet I know how they test for that condition and he did not perform that test. I think doctors are using boilerplate notes and forgetting to edit out things they haven’t done. Yes, I definitely do have clonus. I had a procedure canceled because I tested positive for signs of clonus in my feet.

At my sub's recent PCP yearly check up we addressed sub's “puffy” feet with her. The PCP read from his kidney doctor visit earlier this year which he wrote “no noted edema”. What? His feet were just as puffy as they were that day. What was he not seeing that day?

@MissStress,

Just clarifying. Your ire or concern is with the nephrologist who’s earlier note said no edema? Did his PCP describe his current edema correctly?

The Nephrologist didn't note there was edema at all. It was there, he just didn't notice it as he should.

The PCP took pictures of his feet which will be in his file for future referencing.

Perhaps you should send or bring a copy of the current pedal edema photos to his nephrologist, with or without a note about missing or at least not recording the edema on his prior OV. When does he next see the nephrologist?
