There is no harm in going to the health service's office and asking them!. If you can prove what was written is incorrect, I can't see why there can't at least be a note added saying that you thought a certain thing was incorrect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

By law, medical records cannot be "changed"!. Meaning that, they cannot permanently remove the false information!. What they must do is to draw a single line through the false information so it can still be read (not black it all out or use white-out, as that is also illegal in medical records) and then add in the correct information!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld!.

But yeah, if there's something wrong in there, you should get it corrected, as the previous answerer said!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
