False Information in Medical Record

[AROTC_Hopeful]

Hello all, I am joining AROTC this fall semester, and in preparation, I have been stalking these forums and have requested my own medical history. Aside from the stuff that I know is legit from my actual doctor, I found a form from when I had an ingrown toenail removed in 2019. My main concern is that this document for some reason has plenty of misinformation that is nowhere else on my medical record and I know for a fact is not true.
The document claims that my past medical history contains obesity and scabies. I have several forms from my pediatricion that show I was more underweight more than anything, I have always been skinny, and additionally, I have never had scabies. Not only that, It claims that my father has also had an ingrown toenail, not true, and that I take amoxicillin as a medication, again, not true.
At first, I thought it was kinda funny due to how incorrect it is but it now has me worried that I may be disqualified due to whatever false information they sloppily put on here. Again this is the only mention of these things on my medical record and I have other forms that show its not true but I am still worried.
Has anyone had a similar experience or know what I should do about this?
Thank you!

I know someone much smarter than myself will chime but here is what I know.

Yes. It absolutely happens. With auto fill, hurried staff, mistakenly clicking boxes on computer screens and many other opportunities for error, it happens. Charting mistakes are very hard if not impossible to correct. Once it is documented it exists, right or wrong. 2 things you could try; ask a health care provider to submit a safety report for documented false information or work through all the misinformation (it sounds like yours are relatively minor/although untrue), either proving that the information does not currently or never did exist.
