Five things twenty-seven pages of records were hiding.
ChronCite builds page-cited medical chronologies for personal injury firms. This is what the process found in a fictional motor-vehicle case. Open each one to see the finding and the stamped pages behind it.

First chronology free
No recorded treatment from 06/20/2025 to 09/03/2025.
Measured to the day, from the last visit at Northshore Physical Therapy to the return to North Shore Orthopedic Associates. The defense will look for this gap. Now you see it first.
MC-0023PT visit 7 (final attended): pain 2-3/10; cancelled 06/12 and 06/17 visits for work conflict; importance of completing plan of care discussed; patient to reschedule.MC-0024Ortho follow-up: attended 7 of 12 prescribed PT visits, self-discontinued after 06/20/2025 citing work schedule ('felt about 70% better'); past month recurrence of neck pain 4-5/10 and left thumb tingling; did NOT schedule with Bayview Pain Management as referred.
A record from before the incident, flagged on its own line.
Pre-incident records are kept apart from the injury timeline, so counsel weighs them before the defense raises them. The chronology states the facts; what they mean is counsel’s call.
MC-0010PRE-INCIDENT record: acute lumbar strain after moving boxes; NSAIDs and 6 PT visits; addendum 10/03/2022 documents resolution. Lumbar (low back), no cervical complaint.
MC-0007 is a re-sent copy of MC-0003.
Retransmitted fax copy of 03/14/2025 ED physician note page 1 (marked 'RETRANSMISSION, ORIGINAL P.1 ILLEGIBLE'); content duplicates MC-0003.
It is counted once, so the same visit never shows up as two encounters.
An unreadable page, flagged instead of guessed.
Handwritten chiropractic treatment note, date partially legible (10/__/2025); body of note not legible, content NOT extracted, flagged for records request of typed/complete chiropractic chart.
An unreadable page becomes a records request. It never becomes an invented line.
Two records the file mentions but does not contain.
Each one is named with the page that mentions it, so the records request writes itself.
MC-0015Bayview Pain Management. Plan: formal PT 2x/week x6 weeks at Northshore Physical Therapy; REFERRAL to Bayview Pain Management for possible left C6 transforaminal ESI if not improving by 6 weeks.MC-0026Lynn Spine & Wellness Chiropractic, complete/typed chart. Page largely illegible; request complete legible records.
The patient and providers in the sample are fictional. The findings, dates and page numbers are exactly what the process produced from it.
