It's all so poorly maintained, it's ridiculous, lol.
Yeah, the VA isn't known for their outstanding record keeping, are they? Not that the military docs are, either. When we were going through our pre-deployment health screening, after filling out the forms, my buddy and I got called in at the same time, in rooms next-door to each other. The doctor walks in and starts in on the the form review and says "How many times have you been pregnant?" and I say "Zero", and she looks at me and goes "Well then why did you put one?" and I said "I put zero", and she checks the name and asks "Are you Sergeant (insert my buddy's name who is in the next room over)?" And I'm like "Nnnooo, she's next door". They had swapped our charts! Such a huge HIPAA violation, man! Lucky for the doctor I knew that about my buddy already, but Jesus.
