And I hope you stay so lucky. I am a physician and know how all my local hospitals do things. Perhaps your hospital is different.
The fact of the matter is: medical records are becoming more and more shared between different institutions. One of the local hospital systems near me is buying a $50million system that will integrate all records from the hospital, ER, physician offices, and pharmacies all into a single database so that mistakes in prescriptions don't happen. The other three hospital systems near me are spending an order of magnitude more for even more complex systems.
Very soon (5 year horizon) those databases will be shared with whichever ER or office you go into around the country.
Hopefully the records at your local hospital say that you:
1 - Are not allergic to PCN, just intollerant.
2 - Received Amoxicillin without any side effects.
