as soon as somebody’s out of the hospital, within a certain amount of time those records would be available. I would go to the hospital and request the records immediately. If it’s a large file, they’ll put it on a disk, or perhaps they use thumb drives now or something. I don’t know. Online, demand. Have them print out a hard copy if you can, because then they’re paying for the paper and the copy fees. But as soon as possible. Don’t give them any time to modify the records. The sooner the better.
Wow I’ve never heard of such a thing. When my husband died, and I knew that he died under nefarious circumstances, I went to get the records from the hospital, and they didn’t charge me anything. But that was 15 years ago ago

There will be a fee to obtain the records. I think that with children, they have to keep them longer because the child can sue after age 18.

Maybe it depends on the hospital. It could be used as a deterrent to discourage lawsuits by people who might have little funds to request the records.
of course. Only the rich and elite can afford records, right 🤷♀️
