Query about Hospital Notes

Hi, so I’m just wondering about a detail which wasn’t added to my hospital notes a few years ago. I can’t get it out of my head and hoped someone here might know.

If a person connected to the hospital but without any clinical remit, walks into your single hospital room (with ward staff obviously knowing), talks to you and questions you about going onto one of two drug trials and then tells you ‘you might die if you don’t’ (sign up), should any of all of that be in my hospital notes? At least the part where the person went into my room/what time etc?

I was trying to work out how firstly, nothing about them coming in is in my notes and secondly, how nobody medical came in with them or mentioned it to me before or after they came in.

Should something about them have been on my notes?

But I think you are obsessing about it and I don't know why. I think sometimes we could've better at asking and explaining though and I'm sorry if the personnel had a rude manner or didn't explain properly. I think when you are dealing with life and death every day it's easy to rush sometimes.
