Testicular Cancer Survival

Question: What do you do if a Doctor neglects to read the chart? I am absolutely Livid!!! Finally talked my friend into going to the doctor for a lump, now 2 lumps on his right testicle, I made the appointment myself and told them about it! They put it right in the chart! The doc comes in asks him if he can pass his DOT physical he says "yes" then the Doctor just signs off and sends him on his way. What do they have Charts for if the Doctor isn't going to read it!! What should or can I do about this!! The survival rate of Testicular Cancer is much higher when detected early! It took me so long to get him to go in the first place!! Then the Doctor is neglectful!! I know everyone will say take him to a different doctor, but What should i do about this one? It is not easy to get a man completely scared of Doctors and very attached to his Family Jewels to go to the doc when he knows he will end up losing them!!

Answer: make another appointment to go see the doctor or better yet go to another doctor... not all of them neglet to read the chart. and to satifsy your anger picture yourself hitting the doctor in the head with the chart he didnt read. this might potentially be serious so make the most appointments you can, with various doctors.
