We need our one true POTUS back and issuing a specific EO that this must stop in hospitals. They are turning away sick, crying people, coercing, manipulating and harming Americans, willfully attacking their constitutional rights with Whitmeresque tactics. All so their covid funding will not end. Hospitals are causing oppression and great harm. They operate as in a communist country.

I had doppler of my legs for blood clots. Doctor called recommending surgery but refuses to give me a copy of the doppler report. He blames HIPPA. I told him he already violated HIPPA
I don't think they can refuse you your own medical records. Someone else,s, absolutely. Your own ? I don't think so. I believe you can fill out a "Release of Information " form and get it that way.
that is correct, may need to sign for them but you are entitled to every bit of them.
In the past they sent me my records. This time they say I have to pick it up in person. I'm handicapped and need someone to take me there. I'm just going to ask HIPPA myself for an official answer.
sorry, cut off I told him he already violated HIPPA by calling a person on phone, assuming that's the patient and giving verbal report. How am I expected to go with him for surgery or get a 2nd opinion if he wont give me a copy of the results.
