Records can be looooong especially the older you get and the more you visit. I’d honestly much rather just speak to the doctor. I feel a lot more cared for if a doctor is speaking to me one on one about my body and my health than if they are just reading a log of info and then coming to some conclusion.
With how packed doctor schedules are, I have no expectation that they read our records before a visit. I prefer that I get that time to actually talk to them rather than having them look through my records for information that’s probably irrelevant to my visit. Read it after if you need specific information.

It shouldn’t be an either, or.
They should both be reading the chart, and speaking to you.
They are compensated more than enough to cover both. Shits just fucked.
I didn’t say that they shouldn’t read the charts. But if I had to pick which one I’d want a doctor to do first, it would be speak to me as a person.
I mean, if you can’t be fucked to read medical records, please don’t seek out a career in medicine

As I said to the other person as well, I never said nor meant to imply that they should never read the records.
