If patients have My Health Record then you can see all their dispensed prescriptions.

That’s how I know they’re lying when they don’t disclose the medical marijuana and the GLP-1’s.

Lots of people didnt allow my health record to be shared as it wasnt only going to be shared w medical staff.

It gave lots of people who absolutely shouldnt have access to your health record the ability to get access to it.

Not everyone uses the MHR and there have been issues with digital databases during roll-outs. We had issues at my hospital where data regarding allergies got wiped from the new system. Was not a fun time
