This secret 'we can only send them to other doctors' is bullsqueeze.

This secret "we can only send them to other doctors" is illegal. There are laws on the books giving you the right to a copy of your own medical records. They can charge you a fee for them, but they CANNOT refuse to give them to you. Sue the living hell out of them, and point out that it nearly cost his life because you were blocked from seeing that there was such a glaring error in his file.

My mom is chomping at the bit already. I’ll make sure she knows that’s illegal.

It seems to be a new thing too, this ‘we can’t do that’ stuff.

I remember when my pedi retired his nurse (who was also his wife) called my mom and asked if she wanted to come by and get my and my brother’s records. Mom has them in manilla envelopes just under our baby books.
