Health Record
Your rheumatologist can't guess your medical history or issues. The more you tell him or her the better the treatment will be. See this fun video.

A health record example is a one page document which you and your patient carries with them (in your purse or wallet) at all times. In an emergency clinical situation you would pass the one pager to the clinician. It saves a lot of form filling and does not rely on anyone’s memory. Use the following example.
