Went to a German doctor for the first time and realised I had absolutely nothing no records, no allergy list, nothing. How do you manage your medical history here?
Moved to Germany recently and had my first doctor appointment here. The doctor asked about my medical history, current medications, and allergies, and I realised everything I had was either in my head or scattered across old PDFs on my phone from back home. Nothing organised, nothing in German, no way to quickly share anything useful.
What if I had needed urgent care, not a full emergency, but something serious enough that I needed a doctor fast and couldn't explain my history properly? (Though this would explain better)
Curious how others handle this, especially those who moved from outside the EU. Do you just keep everything in your head? Use some app? Still carry paper? How does this work practically for you?
