Anyway.....................the point is, there should be a standard
form for medical history.

If I'm not mistaken, the feds are already requiring the portability of
medical
records, so you can probably ask all of your doctors for digital copies of
all
of your records and carry it around on a cd/dvd or flash drive

But the information may still be laid out differently on different
providers' forms, and some might want information that is not on other
providers' forms.

A TV program a few years ago about health care around the world showed
the medical ID/insurance card used in Taiwan: they swipe the card and
immediately know your whole medical history and the meds you are taking.
Get out of the dark ages, USA.

Perce

and health care in Taiwan is provided by the gov't so it's no surprise
