I noticed in my doctors records that history seemed to be used in the
context of a history of complaints or of symtpoms(discussions of endo
related symptoms). He could be taking into account the ER visits you
mentioned as well. It is really hard to tell for sure without talking
to him. Perhaps you can call and speak to his nurse. She/he can ask
him for clarification and get back to you.
