I do agree with this. However, I feel patients have a right and a duty to
point out errors, misinformation, and erroneous information in medical
records, and correct it, so long as the correction is truthful.

Nice to hear something stirring on this list. I thought it had gone dead for
a while. Thanks for stirring up the pot, Alan.
