I think I remember that...along with the McMartin school stuff in CA. Huh.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Snuffleupagas became visible because TPTB equated Big Bird's Imaginary Friend with Children Being Molested Keeping it a Secret. I don't know.
People with knowledge of laws regarding medical records:
Is Emeline's old pediatrician allowed to withhold her records from me because of an unpaid balance on the account?

Because they didn't want kids to feel that people wouldn't believe them if they told what they saw.
Again, hmmph.

Aimee I believe so, primarily because against all logic, your medical records are the property of the creating body, not YOU.

Ok, are they allowed to withhold them from her new doctor?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aimée, I don't know for a fact, but my feeling is that that's a big fucking no fucking way. What if she had some kind of chronic condition that her new doctor needed to know the history of? I can't imagine it's legal for a doctor's office to damage a child's quality of care because of an un- or under-paid bill.
eta: Well, damn. I defer to Beej, but I still say it's bullshit.
Also, FYI everyone, you have the right, whenever you see your doctor or any specialist, to request that the notes, lab or OR reports, and clinic letters be cc'd to you. That way you have a copy of all records, totally under your control.

The thing is, if they had called me a FREAKING MONTH AGO when I requested the damn records, it wouldn't be such a surprise today. Yes, I KNOW I owe them money - it's why I switched health plans - I couldn't afford them anymore - but shit. You're going to possibly hurt my CHILD over $220?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I was just going to ask that. So thanks for the advice, JZ.

I've been wondering about this myself. I find it infuriating that I can get my regular clinic to send records to my Workman's Comp. clinic (well, after two or three requests and the copies being lost at least once), but if I want records for myself, of MY OWN BODY, I have to cough up cash. Been wondering who to ask about whether I had a legal leg to stand on for making a fuss. So, no then?
