"if you want the x-ray technician to know why you are in his office, he needs to see some of your medical records."

You don't know anything about medicine, do you? The doctor gives me a slip of paper to give to the x-ray technician telling him to take an x-ray of my right knee (or whatever). The tech never sees my medical records. Doesn't want to. Doesn't need to. He doesn't know or care why the doctor wants an x-ray. I don't sign any consent for the tech.

While much of the time your simple scene is correct, there is one item you do not address in this scene. Why would your doctor have you go take an x-ray unless there was something he could learn from it? He could not learn from it unless the x-ray (medical records) was shared with him as well as the interpretation (another medical record).
