doctors/nurses looking out for each other to avoid medical malpractice is just as entrenched as backing the blue. getting another doctor/nurse to testify against another is nearly impossible. sounds to me like this nurse was just trying to prevent someone from getting a leg up on a case that would make all of their malpractice insurance premiums go up
As a patient I am so offended by the idea that getting a complete and accurate record of one's own medical history and communications might actually just be a big hinderance that really is only gonna make someone's insurance premiums go up.
Thank you. I immediately knew she was bluffing, but since I had politely asked permission, I also had to politely obey their bullshit policy.
And in the same encounter, the attending physician said I should try to measure my blood pressure 5 times per day. I was a little shocked at that, too, and when I told my PCP, he calmly informed me that that attending physician was also largely composed of bovine manure, and once a day is a perfectly good cadence for monitoring blood pressure.
Needless to say, I haven't returned to that urgent care facility.
