- date chop almost invisible. when date can't even be ascertained, how much can you rely on such record?
- medical record not done by the dentist but by a hygienist, credibility in doubt
- content of medical record focus on criticizing a patient, not on recording technical / medical information, what does that imply?
- there isn't details / not even info regarding patient's medical history prior to treatment. what does that imply? does the dentist really care about patient's condition? is there an intention to really perform treatment?
- all in all a medical record that appears to be a journal to extensively describe the patient's behavior and personality. more like terumi's personal diary than a medical record.
yet to check medical record: complaint of pain after the feb-9 crowning, and any investigation on that
tampering of medical records, forged documents
page 1
1. not even date chopped. what you can infer if a medical record is not even date chopped.
2. wrong information:"...previous dentist over 3 years..." but fact is about 2.5 years
3. fabricated stories: "...occlusion treated at multiple clinics didn't go well..." but fact is, previous dentist was the first one to treat occlusion and it was going well, and 80% symptoms gone.
4. falsifying record: "gum not enough" falsified as " bone not enough...". patient was telling terumi previous dentist indicated UL2 gum not enough. ikeda assured patient that she had enough bone for implant.
4. written on the date chop margin: "...occlusion treated at multiple clinic before but none could cure", "...distrust the previous dentist as there is still pain at lower anterior teeth..." but the fact is, previous dentist is the first one and only one who treated her occlusion before coming to ikeda. and the treatment has been going well with previous dentist. there is no such thing as distrusting previous dentist.
5. Th fact that point 4 is written on date chop area indicates this part is appended at a later time.
6. Many crucial information on patient's medical history was missing, such as the cause of occlusion problem that happened 20 years, what happened throughout the years, the recovery status with treatment by previous dentist, what the previous dentist has done to achieve that, the purpose of resin crowns by previous dentist, the current status that about 80% symptoms have gone, and the remaining but relatively mild symptoms such as occasional pain on UL6, 7 and LR5, the issue on the height of UL6, 7 and LR5, which teeth are implanted and which teeth are crowned...these are all crucial information that patient has provide to terumi (because this clinic only had terumi the hygienist to communicate with the patient) is missing from the medical record.
7. All in all, page one of medical record is fashioned in a manner with the purpose to depict the patient as a person who failed to get treated in multiple clinics, who distrusted previous dentist, which are all fabricated stories.

1. date chopped unclear. visible only year and month, date cannot be seen.
