PEs With Missing Info

Anyone else getting a lot of PEs for kids that are missing important health information? I'm talking epilepsy, asthma, food allergies that require epi-pens....I know it's crunch time for providers to see a lot of kids for physicals, but this info is important!

I got a bunch at camp, too. Or flat out refusal to fill out camp forms so parents are bringing school physicals which don't list medications but not school med orders (which I would accept if the dr wrote "camp" and camp dates.
