I build the timeline. If something in a chart does not line up, I find it.
Every case at the firm starts with a chronology, and I build it: each visit, order, result and note, in time order, with the page it came from. It is slow work, and it is where most cases are won or lost before anyone argues.
I also keep the records moving. Hospitals can take weeks to answer a request, and I follow each one until the last page arrives.

What a chronology gives you
A chronology is the case on one page: when you first felt something, what was ordered, what came back, and who read it. Doctors and reviewers use it to ask better questions, and so do you.
You get a copy. If a date in it is wrong, tell me, and I will fix it before anyone else sees it.
