That weird US thing is a fractured healthcare system. You might have your GP, a specialist, and a psychologist, who all work in different offices that use different records system which may or may not have a working level of interoperability. Chances are, if any of them know about the medications you’re on that they didn’t prescribe, it’s because you self-disclosed on your intake form or told the nurse during intake verbally. This is not necessarily a great way to know for sure, because patients forget things and people write or type or select the wrong thing. In this system, it’s much more reliable to have all the prescriptions flow down to one endpoint and have someone trained who can see the exact medications and dosages, and that person can then give the patient the relevant information they need at the time of service.
