Mistakes do happen as it did with my medical record at the Villages Hospital which stated when I was admitted that I had a total knee replacement, which was incorrect, since I had a total hip. EASILY corrected if when I need to.
As for the care, it was excellent!! I can't say enough from the ER to admittance, the nurses care during my stay. The Dr's I had were specialist's and hospitalist's were again the best! If I had to utilize a hospital again, would not hesitate to go back to The Villages Hospital.

Excellent point. And if the hospital, doctor, etc say the entries are correct and accurate, the patient has a right to include his own comments to the contrary. The facility is then obligated, under the law, to include those comments.
