That's really ridiculous. Although, I kind of had a suspicion that you would run
into such trouble. Apparently, doctors just don't want to give their 'secret
medical data' to a patient-- as if it's 'proprietary' or something, belonging
only to them. (Or maybe they're worried about malpractice claims?) I suspect
that the policy differs from doctor to doctor! (in other words, NO real policy.)
Or else they don't know what's legal and what's not.

I have a friend who has more-than-usual health problems-- and she is *dogged*
about about getting whaever info she needs from a doctor. HOW she does it I
don't know-- I think doctors groan when they see her coming. (She actually has
some mediacal training of some sort-- and isn't easily put off with glib
answers.)
