(3,732 posts)They are just transitioning to a computerized EHR, and, while it seems to be getting better now, most physicians had such trouble using it that they couldn't find enough information to get an overview of your case. They spent most of the appointment (which is very hard to get - it took 7 months to get my most recent Primary Care appt) trying to find things.
My pharmacist has warned me about conflicts in my medications. He doesn't get involved with the doctors, though. When I've said I have trouble conveying my need for management, he says "doctors are like eagles, and sometimes you can't challenge them." But he clearly left that in my ball court. I wanted a nurse to work on it because the nurse could see me more often and correspond more directly with my primary care physician.
