“Another overwhelming reason for keeping your own medical records is ,this action can save you tons of money, and possibly your life,” says Lisa Berry Blackstock, founder and owner of Soul Sherpa, an advocacy group that specializes in medical care advocacy and other services. She recommends that everyone, even those in great physical and mental health, keep full and up-to-date medical records.
