The diagnosis and treatment of our patient could be improvedin several ways. First, for minimizing the treatment costs and patient stress, the patient should not have undergone more than once the same scan or, generally, examination, unless strictly required for formulating a diagnosis. Second, our patient has never been able to show his entire medical history to caregivers. Specialists, in fact, often based the diag-nosis only on the exams that they ordered. In this regard, the diagnosis of the discopathy could have been anticipated if the patient would have been able to consistently show his complete medical history to all the specialists and institutions that he visited. Eventually, our case shows that IT infrastructures of hospitals and GPs are not sufficiently integrated yet nationally and especially internationally to provide a lifelong EHR for our patient.
