In (the UK at least) your medical notes follow you as you sign on with a new GP (General Practitioner - first point of medical contact for anything non-urgent). Now knew this theoretically happened, but was quite bemused to see it happen in practice. I rescued a rat from the silken-jaws of my pseudo-homicidal cat, and the ungrateful rodent bit through half of my finger - I thought it would be sensible to have a checkup/shot. I've only got a hazy recollection of what shots I've had when, so my notes were consulted. Seemingly, according to my paper notes produced from the cabinet, 40 years ago "I was an adorable wee thing" (aged 2).
