A few months ago I went for a job and had to give permission for my medical records to be seen as part of the process. I gave permission and then was told I hadn’t got the job because of something they had found on my records. I was shocked and went to my GP to ask to see my records and found out my sister’s history has been put on my record by accident! I found out info about my sister that she may not have wanted me to know (I explained to family and she then told me this applied to her). Before this she had been for an appointment and they’d called out my name instead of hers! It was like they had completely mixed us up. We made a complaint and they seemed not to be bothered really, asking ‘what do you want us to do? We’ve taken the info off now and put it right’ That was all they said. Yesterday I went back to the doctor about something else. I had a vaccination while I was there. When I went through afterwards to see my doctor, the GP told me I shouldn’t have had this because I’m pregnant. My sister is pregnant, not me! Again, the practice manager is totally not bothere, saying ‘we’ve removed it now-don’t worry.’ We’re planning to take this further this time. Not good is it?!
