Medical Records Say Previous Drug Use And Alcohol Use Even Though I’ve Never Done Drugs Or Alcohol In My Life

Card image cap

I was looking at medical records from my sons birth from 3 years ago. When I was admitted into the hospital, it mentions that patient reports previous drug and alcohol use which is not true at all. I haven’t touched either in my life. I have no idea why they would write that on my record. All my records from prenatal visits and primary care report never used alcohol or drugs. It’s just was from the doctor who was on call during the time I was being included.

I’m currently pregnant and might have to go to the same hospital again to give birth and I don’t want that on my record.

What can I do ? I have emailed them but they refuse to change it. The doctor no longer works there either.
