Just found my childhood medical records….

I was recently diagnosed with an illness (I won’t share what for privacy reasons) based on a blood test result that led to further testing and identification of the issue. A little while ago I decided to look through some old medical records that I found from when I was a kid, and I’d never seen them before. I didn’t even know we had them- I discovered them by mistake in the basement while looking for something else.

I started leafing through, and found three different bloodwork result printouts, from ages 10, 13, and 15. They all were flagged abnormal for the specific issue I was diagnosed with, and they were each ordered by different doctors. So that means that THREE DOCTORS either saw this issue and ignored it, or just didn’t bother to look at the results at all.

The medical condition I have can cause irreversible organ damage if it is not diagnosed and treated. I have to get a scan soon to reveal the exact degree of harm it has caused-harm that could have been prevented had the medical “professionals” I was working with had done their jobs! I cannot believe the level of utter incompetency by people who are supposed to be experts.
