My Health Tecird is not going to help you in the ER in any way shape or form. At best it will be useless at worst it will be wrong.
It is not a complete record, and you will only be shown a summary of medical history not a clinically useful record. In addition the patient may have sought opinions from multiple doctors, any of whom may not use MHR.
The risk to most people who don’t actually need complex diagnoses will be endless calls from lawyers and insurance sales along with a web experience modified to keep them worried about that visit to the doctor about a possible STI last Valentine’s day.

So you've been a doctor working in ED? > will only be shown a summary of medical history not a clinically useful record I'm going to guess you're not a doctor, since then you'd know how much more useful a medical summary is than no information at all. Hell, if I have NOTHING BUT the patient's medication list, I can usually make a pretty good guess about their medical history. If the health record contained only patients' medications it would prevent an enormous amount of morbidity and mortality, as well as saving time for doctors, nurses and pharmacists all around the country. Sure, it might not be complete, but it's far more likely to be complete than patients' memory of what meds they take for which disease, in which doses and with which frequency.
