Medical records are static. Your body is not. Unless your reason for consult is a chronic condition, I won't bother with your chart and will ask you directly. First hand information is better always. Asking you will take seconds. Reading the chart will take time away from my contact with patients. I won't trust my information gathering on someone else. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN WE ASK AGAIN, EVEN IF WE'VE READ YOUR CHART. Stop telling us what our job is. Just answer the goddamn questions.
