Yes. I've had this once when moving to a new city and arranging to have my medical records transferred.
My new doctor read the snarky and incorrect internal notes to me.

The system as it was previously was better. I could request a full copy of my medical records whenever I wanted, but without making my doc feel like I could be constantly snooping on his notes. I know all of this “patient empowerment” seems like a good thing, but there may be some serious downsides of this implementation.
What I would really like is an encrypted file that I can carry on me with an open format of all relevant medical records / labs / imaging that could be decrypted by any hospital or clinic EMR. That way, even if I’m unconscious or have forgotten my password, medical care can be given efficiently.
