AL treatable medication on health records
Much depends on what country you reside and your personal circumstances.
I live in the US and own a business. The business has a small group health plan covering me and my family, as well as employees and their families. It is a medically underwritten plan, meaning each participant submits their medical histories. This allows for much lower rates than a general enrollment plan.
If any alcoholism were to appear in my medical history, the rates would go through the roof. Same for a self-employed person that is on an individual/family plan.
If you're covered under a regular employer plan, and have no fear of losing your job, I guess it doesn't much matter.
But it is for this reason that I NEVER want this information in my medical history.
As a follow up question for those who are under the treatment of Dr. L, would his prescriptions ever show up in a medical history? I suppose not since it is paid out of pocket with no insurance claim. Is this correct?Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment.

In most cases, living in the US, you are denied life insurance if alcoholism is on your medical record. That's one that I can think of, among many others.
Dr. L, I believe, records it under "depression" or something like that.:nutso: I take pride in my humility :nutso:
:what?:
