Medical records: what it means

The complete record of your care at a facility.

In Vietnamese: Hồ sơ bệnh án Records

You are generally entitled to a copy — ask how, because the process differs from place to place.
Ask while you are still there; requesting it months later is far harder.

Often confused with: Discharge summary — covers one admission, not the whole record.
