Time to dismantle the Pedestals.

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

The only reason I thought you couldn't see them was when I moved from one state to another I asked for my doctor's record to ensure I wouldn't have any trouble when getting a new doctor.  The doctor's office in Missouri, where I was leaving, told me they had to send them directly to the new doctor.  This was in 1992.  I didn't think about asking for copies at the time.  I never had any trouble getting set up with the new doctor but ever since then I just ASSumed you couldn't see your own records.

Well I've learned something new today and can officially slack off now. :P

Actually, back in 1992 there weren't much in the way of patient's rights to access their health records. Since 1996, that has changed with progressive refinements and effectiveness of HIPAA rules.
