Medical Journal Format

Since shortly after I was first diagnosed in 1992, I have kept a medical journal for myself, then for my mother and father. Others have expressed interest in it so I have decided to post my format. If I had the knowhow, I would like to write a program to use it with a program that could be used in a Palm type device and sell if you US$19 a copy. But here is the basic outline of my hard copy version.

  • Personal Information

    • Name
    • Address
    • Phone Numbers
    • Birthday
    • Know allergies and associated reactions
    • Blood-type
  • Emergency Contact Information

    • Name
    • Address
    • Phone Numbers
    • Authorization(s) (Health Care Surrogate, Power of Attorney, Living Power of Attorney, Living Will)
  • Current list of medications including nutritional supplements and alternative medicines
  • Current list or doctors with addresses and phone numbers

    • Primary Care Physician
    • Neurologist
    • Oncologist
    • Neurosurgeon
    • Internal Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dentist
    • Ophthalmologist/Optometrist
    • Ob/Gyn
  • Past Medical history

    • Childhood illnesses
    • Past surgeries
    • Past major illness
    • Miscellaneous medical information such as dental care, vision, or hearing issues.
  • On-going Medical Journal Entries
  • Questions and Answers

    • Primary Care Physician
    • Neurologist
    • Oncologist
    • Neurosurgeon
    • Internal Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases

Hope this is helpful to everyone.
