Americans don't necessarily have a doctor. I was assigned one
by my insurance a couple of years ago, but I've never seen him.
I was just about to find a different one (closer to my home), but
then COVID hit so I hunkered down.

The last few times I've needed a doctor, I goto one of those minor
emergency places. "Doctors on Call" was one. They are open 7 days a week
and no appointments necessary. First come, first serve.

They charge the same as regular doctors without waiting for an appointment.

But do they have access to the patient's medical
history and records?

My GP doctor has online access to my medical records
going back decades, either at GP or from every hospital
that's treated me.
I don't get billed for any of my consults or treatments.

When my Dr retired due to a diagnosis of Parkinson's, I managed to get
my old paper records that were the norm before they went "digital". They
make very interesting reading as they contain the correspondence with
specialists when I had surgery, along with their description of the
operations.

People who don't have a GP don't have a medical history, as such.
My medical history for the last 40 years is a series of sporadic blood
panels for glucose, A1C, cholesterol (and it's buddies) that are consistently
unremarkable. No illnesses, accidents, or hospital visits.

You pay for them, just not on a per-visit basis.

So when Gary goes to an emergency place, do the doctors
treating him have no access to any of his previous scans,
xrays or test results at another facility

Nor on any medical basis at all. I've no idea what my
lifetime healthcare cost.

Probably not. Depending on what he's been in for, there might not have
been any tests, scans, or X-rays. For example, to stitch up a bad laceration.

I broke my ankle slightly over 40 years ago. Those records are long gone.
The film X-rays, the paper copy of the emergency room records, all shredded.

Only if the emergency place is affiliated with the doctors who treated
him previously, or if he has copies and provides them.

It depends on the facility. The "urgent care" clinics in my small town
are *affiliated* the local hospital and are connected by computer. They
can access that information if necessary. They're mostly for treating
minor injuries and illnesses. Going to the actual hospital ER costs a
heck of a lot more.
