I recently went to an urgent care clinic run by one of the major health care corporations in my area. I was seeking tx for a minor eye injury (corneal abrasion). Everyone from the receptionist, nurses, and doctor were friendly and attentive. It was a fairly painless visit in regards to crowded waiting room, wait time to be seen, etc. The care I received was stellar. From my registration paperwork the staff knew that I am also a nurse; so there was a little shop talk about where I work. You know, just friendly conversation between the clinic nurses and myself while my discharge forms were being printed out. While reviewing post care instructions and prescriptions, my nurse briefly got a confused look on his face. Just a fleeting moment. I thought nothing of it at the time. Later, when I got home to review my papers, my heart sank. Already teary-eyed from the corneal abrasions I felt fresh tears welling up. On the last page of discharge instructions was a section addressing current conditions and reasons for visit. 1. Alcohol withdrawal. 2. Suicidal Precautions. 3. Corneal Abrasions. Now mind you, this standardized form from the major health care system included old patient information from over 14 years ago. Yes I received tx way back when for problems that seemed like a lifetime ago. I have come so far since then and rarely even think about those unhappy times. I remembered the look my nurse gave me and realized why. I almost feel that this health care company breached confidentiality. Those nurses didn't need to know about my past to care for me that night. Why did that information print out? I don't understand. I am not ashamed, just felt like a punch in the gut seeing it listed as a current condition. I tried to contact their (company, not clinic) medical records department to at least change things to "history of...", but no luck so far. I'm not sure how to pursue correcting this. Any advice?
