Obtaining medical reports &records
After taking an ultrasound of the carotid arteries beg of the month, I expected the
Doctor to call with the results. He didn't so I called the office. They never answer
The phone, they just say leave your number and a message. I called five days,
Once a day for a week. No one called me back and the doctor never called even
Though that is what I requested.
I had my primary doctor call there (the receptionist) and he got through when
He pressed that it was a doctor's office calling. They said they gave the doctor
The message and didn't know why he won't call. He's a cardiologist... and he's
Raising my b/p!
Anyway, I decided to ask for my records. So my primary doctor's office sent
Me release forms to fill out and they faxed it to their office. No records were
Forwarded. Do I have to travel (l hour away) and start yelling like a raving
Maniac and walk into the doctor's private office... or do you have another
Suggestion. Are they not legally obligated to give me my records?
