General Medical issues thread

I use it now although I didn't to to begin with. Regret that as it's so easy to check on blood tests and anything else. Results are uploaded but can't be opened by me for 7 days after publication. I suppose that's to give the Dr time to see them without being hounded by the patient. I assume that's the same with everyone and not just some setting I have missed.

I was talking to a friend last night and she said I should download the My Health Record app.
Where you can see all your blood tests, scans and results etc.
I seem to recall some chatter about it when it first came out.
Anyone have any opinions or experience?

Yep. I can check all the scripts I been have issued and dispensed. Some places don't upload to it which is disappointing. All of husband's hospital visits and results are there however the place we go for his bone scans have to be manually imported by the GP I believe as they don't upload to My health they have their own system
I am also a bit reassured that is something happens eg a car accident or suchlike , my GPs information is there , my meds etc

I've found that many providers never upload to it. I have to go to a specific lab and they always load up. I do have the breast screen results loaded, and the Covid tests that we were required to have during that time. And that's it. No recent X-rays. Annoying. Especially when they cost a heap but I have to go to the GP to get the results. Get them to print them and so on. It wasn't supposed to be like that.

Scripts filled are in the Medicare file which has always been available. Separate to my health.

That's the same for everyone, 7 days. Some results may need a Doctor to deliver them with counselling etc, also to prevent people self medicating when they see a result (as some on here seem to do a lot!)

I think there are a couple of tests available immediately but most is the week.
