When you tell your doctor about drinking, smoking, exercise or your diet, how much of that stays in your medical record in Canada? Can those notes ever affect the care you get in the future?

I’m wondering how much honesty actually matters here and whether lifestyle notes quietly shape decisions later on.

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes... judging from the lack of comments..
