My approach is similar. I mention that I was a critical care medic for a decade before I started working with lawyers, would like to review the chart/labs, and am polite and complimentary lol.
About 15 years ago, my then-husband had a serious motorcycle accident, resulting in a lost limb, etc., etc.
He was quite calm about everything, but refused to be left alone. There was literally always someone with him, even overnight. So many visitors and callers that I finally had to put a stop to it.
But I’ll tell ya, those nurses did not like me reading his chart. They acted like it was their private information.
Ha. One time he was waiting for a surgery and the nurse came to confirm the procedure. But she kept saying left foot and I kept saying no. I finally pulled back his sheet to show his missing left foot.
