I told my medical history to my first GP in Germany. I told her, i have 'x' medical condition and she heard 'y'. I also showed her some documents but she wrote a completely different thing in the computer. I didn't see it, so i didn't know at the time.
Next time i visited the GP, a different doctor was there, the GP looked surprised "no, it's different. You have a problem in your eyesight. You are blind in one eye and this condition will slowly eat away your eyesight in both eyes"
Me: "what! I can see perfectly with both eyes. You can also see that my eyes are perfect.
Then the GP realised that the previous GP at this Praxis had made a typo and put in a completely different medical condition in the computer.
I told him to fix it. He tried to edit it but the computer didn't allow him. He gave me some meds and told me to go home.
However, I'm still worried that my medical history contains wrong stuff and the GP didn't change it (atleast in front of me). If i get into an emergency, and this info is transferred to an ER, and i am unconscious, the doctors will probably make medical decisions on my body considering I have condition y instead of condition x.
Two questions:
Data transfer: will the wrong medical history data at GP 1 stay at GP 1 or when i change my GP, it will be automatically transferred to the new GP? Also, in case of emergency, will the wrong data from GP 1 be transferred to the ER doctors? I wonder if just changing the GP would solve the issue or not.
Is it ok to visit the GP only to request this fix in medical record even if i don't have a symptom or health problem right now?
