But Dr. Lai Mei-shu of T'aita points out that as Taiwan does not use a family practice system, few people will see the same doctor from childhood to old age. Their records (if still available), are spread out over a number of clinics and hospitals.
台大醫院內科主治醫師賴美淑表示，由於國內沒有家庭醫師的制度，很少有人從小到大都找同一位醫生看病，因此病歷（如果沒被扔掉的話）散見大大小小的診所、醫院，沒有一個醫生有一貫的瞭解，能針對病人特殊需要，隨時提醒注意，或建議做某項功能的檢查。
