Okay now we're getting somewhere. You're bringing attorneys into it for a very specific purpose that could affect your whole life. And yes i agree that that information should and will be available. See when your're a nurse you are told yes told to write in your notes the worst possible things you can say about a pt. That is mostly to keep a pt in the hospital longer and to get insurance to pay for that you have to have a reason the pt is there. Today only reasons are really suicidal, psychotic, off meds and need to start meds. They don't allow you to just come in for simple depression like in the past. It really all boils down to malpractice insurance and insurance in general. It's hard to be a nurse and write the worst possible things you could say about a pt. And that is what the pdocs feel is detrimental for a pt to read. But how could you receive blood without someone telling you later? Fondly, Phillipa
