Yes, a doctor of an adult would have access to records back to birth (hospital records) IF the patient never moved and the doctor were on staff at the birth hospital. This is, of course, uncommon.
Physicians may destroy records 7 years after last visit, hospitals, 25 years after last service. Each state sets it’s own rules, but that is a model Federal statute which most states follow.
I am nearly certain that there are no records in Hawaii (hospital or doctor records, I mean) pertaining to Stanley Ann or Barry from 1961. I’ve explained why I don’t find it remarkable that no one remembers, but don’t have too many takers.
Would the doctor of an adult be able to get medical transcripts going back to birth by requesting them from the hospital of birth, or by getting the confidential medical portion of a birth certificate somewhere?
Have you ever worked at a smaller hospital? From what I’ve heard from asking around, some of the smaller hospitals keep records longer. I don’t know how large Kapiolani is so I don’t know if there’d be any chance of records from 1961.
But I’m almost certain that he was not born in a Hawaii hospital. If he had been there would have been no need for him to do a major amendment on his BC in 2006.
And there wouldn’t have to be this big mess with a signed letter from Obama on White House stationary with seal, with Obama allegedly saying he was born there.... but Kapiolani saying they can’t say if he was or wasn’t born there, and Obama refusing to say whether the letter was really from him or was a forgery by either Kapiolani or Abercrombie. What a mess. They want to claim that Obama said he was born there, but if they acknowledge that he said it then they have no reason not to confirm (if possible) whether he was or wasn’t born there. The end of it all is that Obama, Kapiolani, and Abercrombie all want to have their cake and eat it too - get the benefits of claiming Obama was born there but never have to do anything LEGAL that says he was born there.
That modus operandi (operandus? singular?) of never wanting to legally validate the verbalized claims gets real old real fast. Like nailing down jello, and there’s no reason for them to be that way if everything is on the up and up.
I agree with you that a doctor wouldn’t necessarily remember such a birth, based on my own poor memory of one-time facts. If the privacy part of HIPAA started in 2003, that was before Obama was widely known in the USA so by the time a doctor might have been curious enough to check out the records, if there were any, he’d be blocked from access.
But I also don’t think there’s a Hawaii doctor who attended the birth. From what the HDOH has said, I suspect that he didn’t even have a complete BC from Hawaii until he amended it by adding the missing required information in 2006.
