I had an accident with a power tool and removed my fingernail and skin on the middle finger of my left hand. A young doctor put stitches in my middle finger on the left hand. The doctor then gave me a note for my GP to keep him informed. I opened the letter and it informed my doctor that it was the third finger on my right hand and that I am legally blind and deaf. I am not blind and deaf and most of the details had little resemblance to fact. I destroyed the letter and made an appointment with my GP to have the stitches out.
I recently attended the Angliss Hospital as I had gastroenteritis and was very dehydrated. I was only in there for a short while. I was then given a letter from a doctor who stated that I was legally blind and deaf (not true). I tried phoning Eastern Health and I was transferred from one person to another like a hot potato was burning their hands. Eventually I spoke to the doctor who had given me the last note. He said he would delete my legally blind and deaf statement. I suspect it was only from his letter. I have kept this letter just in case I need a lawyer at a later date should anyone believe I am blind and deaf and involved in a traffic accident. Yes I drive a car and listen to the radio. I wish to know how do I get medical records corrected on the Eastern Health computers when entered incorrectly by a doctor.
