Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Missouri

I was taken to ER by husband. ER doctor entered into my files that I had "prior history of suicide, violence, psycho hospitalizations, drug and alcohol use" and that I shot my husband with shotgun several times. I was on oxycontin and was withdrawing and doctor did not speak with me as I am deaf. I was admitted to a MENTAL hospital for 30 days whereas they tried to get me to admit to all the above unknown to me I was not aware all this was being entered into my files. When I was released I was upset at the way I was treated. So I got a copy of my medical records. I was so shocked and furious. I contacted the licensing board for doctors thinking it was a doctors error. The licensing board said it was my husband that said those things (he wanted a divorce I later found out). They refused to remove those things from my file. I gave them eight letters of recommendation where I had worked at nuclear power plant for ten years from my bosses. Gave them my high school and college grades showing I was honor student. I was drug tested at nuclear plant routinely. My husband has NEVER been to a doctor for gunshot wounds. Ridiculous. Now those things remain on my medical history. I had at one point advised the doctors NOT to talk to my husband once I realized something was up. The doctor did not talk to my husband but LISTENED to him and wrote everything down that was an outright lie. How can I get those false things out of my medical records? There was another woman in there with same problem. Unfortunately in this day and age mental hospitals remain the same. I had never been in one before and will never be again as I do not trust doctors, medicines or hospitals now. How can I get the false information out of there????
