Dear Cheryl, please send your doctors a letter (typed and looking
professional) stating that you are officially requesting copies of certain
records. Be specific. example... Please send me a copy of my operation report
of Sept. 9, 2000 plus all pertinant copies of other medical tests done at the
time with the ensuing results. As you know this is my legal right. Please send
these as soon as possible to (Your name and address) If there is a small
copying fee, I will be happy to pay this, but please be advised that common
medical practice and human kindness suggests that you keep your fees, if there
are any, reasonable and not a profit making enterprise in and of itself. Thank
you very much. My family is eagerly awaiting my paperwork.... You can also
have someone else with less attitude than me write up your letter for you .
Don't give up. It's your body and you paid for all those reports. Sally Grigg
