Great Asset
With My Chart all my medical information is in one place. No piles of papers in multiple places throughout the house. I can send a question to my doctor and get an answer soon thereafter. Getting reminders of appointments is a welcome benefit as well. A+ for MyChart!
Ease of understanding
I loved seeing everything on my phone as it was done daily
Using MyChart
I love the prompt posting of my result. The app is clear and easy to utilize.
Too much
I think the app is relied on way too much by the medical providers. I think some information requires direct communication by a phone call, such as an abnormal test result requiring a repeat test that was communicated at the office visit 6 months later. I am not qualified to interpret MRI results so my provider should notify me with results.

MyChart has been weaponized against me.
To the Editor,
My MyChart portal has been weaponized against me in a way that has destroyed my healthcare and left me trapped by a digital blacklist. In 2021 I saw an Oklahoma physician to request a biologic drug for Rheumatoid Arthritis. After the appointment went sideways, that doctor retaliated by fabricating untrue, derogatory diagnoses in my permanent electronic file.
This single act of malice triggered an inescapable domino effect. I lost count after 20 physicians blindly copied the bias and continued the punitive treatment.
Months later, when I developed severe widespread edema and hypertension, doctors completely skipped performing a physical examination—yet they meticulously documented a full physical exam that never happened……every one of them but one.
Desperate for unbiased help, I moved cities and eventually traveled back across the country to UCLA, not realizing my electronic records were silently traveling ahead of me. On the road, I suffered a hypertensive crisis and went to an ER. Instead of treating my blood pressure, they drug-tested me without my knowledge or consent and falsely documented it as suicidal ideation. When I finally reached UCLA, they read the exact same toxic file and dismissed my symptoms.
Digital records are marketed as tools for safety, but they are being used to disparage and harm patients across state lines. When a patient cannot escape a doctor's vengeful lies even thousands of miles away, the system isn’t just broken, it’s fatal.
