Electronic Medical Records questionaire

Let me begin by saying I’m sorry if my posting is a bit lacking.
I have a question on something that happened to me at the doctors office. I am a 57 year old grandmother. I changed doctors (within the same office) and they were setting up the new Electronics Medical Records for me required by the government. (I’m sure this has been discussed on this site, but I missed it.) The nurse was asking me a barrage of questions & we were have a friendly discussion; or so I thought. She asked if I had any guns, but I thought she was going to ask about my husbands hunting. I mistakenly answered that we had lots of guns. Then when she typed something and asked me exactly how many I had, I told her to stop. I told her it was no ones business, especially the governments, what I have. She then was offended and acted like I was hiding some criminal act because I did not answer her questions. I told her I did not want any private info s in my file. I don’t know if she put something in my file or not. I have questions.
Do I have a right to see my EMR? All of it, so I can make sure she did not include something I told her was private. I’m wondering if the reason this was asked was because last Christmas I bought my husband a gun for Christmas and I had to go to the police and get a license to buy the gun.
Does anyone know my rights here?
Does anyone know where I can find all the questions asked by the nurses/doctors for the EMR?
My husband and his fellow hunters are wondering about this. Thanks.
I don’t know what state you are in but myself, I would write a letter to my doctor and ask him. Make a copy for yourself.
I believe at the moment it is an an “unfunded mandate”.
